CDEP in the Northern Territory - Emergency Response
To support the Northern Territory emergency response, on 23 July 2007, the former Minister for Families, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs, the Hon Mal Brough MP, and the former Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations, the Hon Joe Hockey MP, announced that CDEP in the Northern Territory would progressively be replaced with real jobs, training and mainstream employment programmes.
Between September and November 2007 CDEP participants in some Northern Territory communities were assisted in moving from the CDEP programme into work, or onto income support.
