Boston Consulting Groupâs final report, also obtained under freedom of information, found the reforms had increased the cost of the program by 48% in two years, partly due to a 46% increase the number of participants.
Yet the number of employment outcomes â that is people who found work â had only increased by 8%.
This meant the likelihood of a Des participant finding work had declined by âaround 12-14% since the July 2018 reformsâ, despite the labour market remaining flat.
The report calculated that the cost of getting one person into six monthsâ of work under the program had increased from $27,800 to $38,400 in two years after the reforms.

Fewer jobseekers will have face-to-face meetings with employment services providers when the jobactive program is scrapped next year, in a digital overhaul that will cut government spending on employment services by $860.4m.
Despite the pandemic pushing more people into the employment services system, the four-year savings continue the trend of cutting spending in the area, after last year’s budget also banked about $1.4bn.
The budget papers show the flagship jobactive program will be replaced by a so-called “New Employment Services Model” from July 2022 that will allow the “most job-ready jobseekers to manage their job search requirements online”.
