Centrelink Centrelink is a statutory authority responsible for delivering a range of Commonwealth Government services, including the registration of persons for job search assistance and income support. CES Prior to April 1998, the Commonwealth Employment Service (CES) provided a job placement service for jobseekers and managed labour market programs. It also provided the contact point for eligible jobseekers to register for income support. Duration of current period of unemployment The elapsed period to the end of the reference week since a person began looking for work, or since a person last worked for two weeks or more, whichever is the shorter. Brief periods of work (of less than two weeks) since the person began looking for work are disregarded. Former employees Unemployed persons who were employees in their last job and who ceased that job in the last two years. Interstate Between States and Territories. Intrastate Within the State or Territory. Job leavers Unemployed persons who have worked for two weeks or more in the past two years and left that job voluntarily, for example, because of unsatisfactory work arrangements/pay/hours; the job was a holiday job or they left the job to return to studies; or their last job was running their own business and they closed down or sold that business for reasons other than financial difficulties.
