JobMaker Hiring Credit

The JobMaker Hiring Credit scheme is an incentive for businesses to employ additional young job seekers aged 16–35 years.

Eligible employers can access the JobMaker Hiring Credit for each eligible additional employee they hire between 7 October 2020 and 6 October 2021.
Key points:
Eligible employers:
  • will be able to register with ATO from 6 December 2020.
  • will be able to claim payments from 1 February 2021.
  • cannot claim JobKeeper and the JobMaker Hiring Credit at the same time.
  • may receive payments of up to $200 per week for each eligible additional employee aged 16 to 29 years old inclusive.
  • may receive payments of up to $100 per week for each eligible additional employee aged 30 to 35 years old inclusive.
Employees are eligible if they:
  • have not given an employee notice to another employer which is still in effect
  • are between 16–35 years old (inclusive) when they started employment
  • received income support payments, including the JobSeeker Payment, Youth Allowance (other than on the basis that the individual was undertaking full-time study or was a new apprentice) or Parenting Payment - for at least 28 consecutive days (or 2 fortnights) - within the 84 days (or 6 fortnights) before being hired
  • start employment with you between 7 October 2020 and 6 October 2021
  • are hired as a permanent or casual employee, or on a fixed-term basis
  • have worked, or have been paid, for at least 20 hours per week you employed them over the JobMaker period
