Commonwealth Employment Service
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Commonwealth Employment Service was a Australian Government employment agency established in 1946 with the introduction of the Re-establishment and Employment Act 1945 and continued to exist under the provisions of the Commonwealth Employment Service Act 1978.
During 1998, part of the Commonwealth Employment Service functions transferred to a new government entity, Employment National, a new government provider of employment services amongst a competitive network of community, government and commercial agencies known as the Job Network. The remaining functions transferred to Centrelink.
On the 30 June 2003, Employment National closed its 165 offices.
