About Community Development Program

CDP focuses on sustainable employment and the economic development of remote communities. It provides the opportunity to participate in community development activities, gain qualifications, and undertake foundational skills training including language, literacy, numeracy and driving lessons.

  • tailored, confidential case management services
  • specialised support to address vocational and non-vocational barriers including referral to available services
  • access to online systems including MyGov
  • access to community development activities like housing, repairs and maintenance, grounds maintenance and community cleanups
  • support to identify employment and prepare for job opportunities including training
  • post-placement support to help you stay in work.
