I have some additional information to add to the question I had from Senator Siewert earlier today. Risk profiling will be used to identify particular characteristics that indicate a higher risk of substance misuse issues. Jobseekers with these characteristics will be selected randomly from within the broader group. Risk profiling will help to maximise the chances of identifying those jobseekers who may need help to overcome their substance abuse. Risk profiling will be based on a broad range of characteristics, including where we are already aware that jobseekers have substance abuse issues. However, this does not mean that only those who have an identified history of substance abuse will be selected.
