There are two programs associated with the Workforce Transition Programs (WTP). The objectives of the program are to ensure all eligible native forest workers are supported to transition out of native forestry.
Program 1: Worker Transition Payment
The purpose of the Worker Transition Payment is to support workers who have been impacted by the State Government announcement to protect native forests from 2024. The payment will help workers that are made redundant or choose to leave, as well as casual/seasonal workers.
Program 2: Reskilling, Retraining and New Employment
The purpose of the Reskilling, Retraining and New Employment Support Program is to support workers impacted by the State Government decision to protect native forests by 2024 to upskill and/or retrain to assist them to secure new employment in their region or other locations.
