Thank you for that question, Senator Patrick. A further demerit point will be added to the process which will give the jobseeker one more chance to comply. Jobseekers will still have two capability assessments before facing any penalties and will return to the start of the demerit phase if it is found that they were not reasonably able to meet their requirements.
