The Link Centre is a big supporter of the Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) and helping people with their education and gaining employment.
Community Development Employment Projects (CDEP) and young people
CDEP is specifically for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men and women between the ages of 16 and 25 who are eligible to join CDEP.
Young men and women are the future of the community. Sometimes they do not realise that they can participate in the CDEP Scheme. If you are at least 16 years old and eligible for an income support payment; or not a full time student; and your community has a place which they are willing to give you then you may be eligible. You should talk to your CDEP Administrator if you want to work on the scheme.
Contact a South Region Administrator on 33973077 or 5591 7766 to find out if you are eligible for the project. Alternatively you can contact Centrelink on 131021 to arrange an appointment.
