We’re helping shape stronger futures for industrial regions, local communities and workers in a net zero economy. As emissions-intensive industries evolve or retire, we’re supporting workers to prepare for and move into new well paid, safe and secure jobs.
We’re backing communities to thrive through economic development and targeted investment. And we’re working in partnership with First Nations communities to ensure they have a strong voice and real opportunities in Australia’s net zero transformation.
We’re here to help people understand, navigate and benefit from Australia’s regional net zero transition.
Policies & programs
The Australian Government supports workers, communities and workers through a large number of policies, programs, services and other initiatives.
We're working with other agencies to categorise and track these policies and programs, as their successful implementation is crucial to setting Australia up for a successful transition to a net zero economy.
Energy Industry Jobs Plan
The Energy Industry Jobs Plan (the EIJP) provides support directly to workers to prepare for and transition into a new job when eligible coal-fired or gas-fired power stations close.
Regional Workforce Transition Plans
Regional Workforce Transition Plans will help coordinate employment and skills supports to enable regions to manage the impact of closures while maximising the benefits of the transition.
