Community Development Program Update

Mutual obligation requirements for Community Development Program (CDP) job seekers have been lifted until further notice.

All face-to-face CDP activities, services and appointments for job seekers are suspended.

Any existing suspensions and penalties for CDP job seekers have been lifted.

CDP service providers will not apply any job seeker compliance action, such as financial penalties, while the restrictions are in place. 

However, CDP job seekers still need to report to Centrelink as normal. This includes reporting any income/hours worked to receive income support. For more information see: How to report and manage your payment.
