At the end of 2020, the Australian JobMaker Hiring Credit scheme was introduced to incentivise employers to hire additional young jobseekers by reducing the costs associated with the hiring process through a series of payments.

The credit is available to employers for each new young person they hire between 7 October 2020 and 6 October 2021, and can be accessed to subsidise the cost of employing each additional eligible employee for up to 12 months.
