BUSY At Work

Last Friday, before we tuned into the BUSY Awards, we had a friendly competition of gingerbread house building with our Cairns crew! Great idea by Kane from BUSY Ability 😁 I’m proud to be a part of our Sheridan St office where 7 different business units from The BUSY Group share the space and work in harmony 😊 Skill360 Australia BUSY Health BUSY At Work Smart Apprenticeship Solutions Alyne Tavares Jessica Campbell Magdalena Konderla

It’s been a huge year for the CoAct network, where ongoing economic challenges made our work even more vital. We continued to support Australians facing significant barriers to employment. Through tailored services, innovative solutions, and strong community connections, we helped job seekers across Australia find and stay in work or training that suits them. Our 2023-2024 impact snapshot highlights the ongoing importance of CoAct’s mission, and the unique strengths of our network in delivering it.

I’m wrapping up the 2024 working year today, and reflecting on a huge year. Some CoAct achievements that I'm incredibly proud of include: • DES 2025 procurement: We've been immersed in this complex and time-sensitive project all year. Through partner roadshows, three co-design events, countless working groups and meetings, evidence collection and data analysis, we reimagined our proven service model, showcasing our network capability. • Expanding apprenticeship services: The new Australian Apprenticeship Support Services contract strengthened our partnership with BUSY At Work through BUSY At Work - The Apprenticeship Community. We retained the Perth and surrounds region, and expanded into Victoria. • Workforce Australia performance: Our network's WFA performance has gone from strength to strength, thanks to network-wide strategies, commitment and consistency. • Customer satisfaction: Our rating continues to be high across both DES and WFA, highlighting the success of our customer-centric services. • Network collaboration: Our annual ConnectUp conference brought together our service partners for two days of learning, big thinking and networking. We also celebrated network excellence with the CoAct Awards. • New partners: We welcomed Forrest Personnel Ltd to the network and new DES 2025 partners. • Customer Advisory Committee: Launched to provide valuable input and lived experience on our service design. Awards and corporate achievements flowed too: • Awarded Employer of Choice for the third time • Outstanding results in the Workplace Gender Equality Agency employer gender gap report, most notably CoAct’s total gender pay gap at -5.7%, far exceeding the industry average of 23%. • Named on Diversity Council Australia Ltd’s 2024-2025 Inclusive Employers list. • Progressed our Reconciliation Australia Reconciliation Action Plan to the ‘Innovate’ phase. • The National Employment Services Association Employment Consultant of the Year award saw all three finalists and winner from our network.
