Career Advice Australia

Career Advice Australia is an Australian Government initiative supporting young Australians aged 13 to 19 to make successful transitions through school and from school to further education, training and work. Career Advice Australia provides access to career information and advice, meaningful work experience and quality information about opportunities in industries to help young people make informed decisions about their futures.

The Australian Government has committed over $330m between January 2006 and June 2009 for the Career Advice Australia initiative.

The key elements of Career Advice Australia are:

• a national network of Local Community Partnerships
• industry leadership at a regional and national level
• support for young people disconnected, or at risk of disconnecting, from school
• quality career development services for schools, teachers and career advisers
