Abstract

In 2006, the Australian Government introduced Welfare to Work Policy for government benefit recipients, to increase workforce capabilities and facilitate workforce participation. Single Parent families in Australia are maintained by a majority of single mothers, who have less workforce participation than the OECD average (Adema & Whiteford 2007). Rural community remains a stronghold for gendered roles, but has proportionally higher numbers of single mothers who face unexplored complexities in attaining employment. Understanding of people who encounter life difficulties leads to partnerships, which builds the capacity of recipients.
