Anglicare Australia has called for more support for job seekers with barriers to return to work while criticising the federal government’s JobSeeker program as a “failing” system.

According to Anglicare, there are around 27 job seekers applying for the same entry-level job and people without qualifications or work experience are spending an average of five years looking for work.
