Yes, I can, because there are numerous Work for the Dole activities helping local communities. For example, charities, not-for-profits and other community groups get an extra pair of hands, with people doing valuable community work they could not otherwise do. Since the start of the program almost 38,000 activities have been undertaken, with approximately 6,500 activities in operation today. For example, participants assisted with the maintenance and landscaping of the Whyalla Men's Shed, including building fencing and a pergola. The participants learned valuable skills in painting, paving, woodworking and gardening. Three months after leaving the activity, three out of the eight participants were in paid work. That's a program getting people off welfare and into work.
