If I could confirm this is in relation to the relief of the activity test—volunteering? I am advised that as at 31 December 2017, 1,099 jobseekers who had been registered with employment services for less than 12 months were fully meeting their requirements through voluntary and/or paid work and thus could potentially be affected by this change.
