Thank you again, Minister. In areas of high unemployment and low expectation of older jobseekers finding employment, I understand that jobactive providers have the discretion to reduce job activity requirements for Newstart participants. Can the minister advise how this information will be conveyed to relevant Newstart recipients? For example, will the information be clear and available on the MyGov or Centrelink websites advising recipients they can seek to have their job activity or volunteering ratios changed in certain circumstances?
