Time to Work Employment Services

In conjunction with the Department of Education and Workplace Relations, we offer the Time to Work Employment Services (TWES) in the Bunbury Regional Prison and sub-contract the program at the Eastern Goldfields Regional Prison.

TWES is a national voluntary in prison employment service for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Participants receive assessments that are normally completed once they are released from prison (Job Seeker Classification Instrument (JSCI) and Employment Services Assessment (ESAT) as well as a transition plan. Participants are provided with their post-release provider, where possible to ensure the information is accessible.
