More than 5,000 young Australians have gained jobs under the 'Hire' element of the Turnbull Government's Youth Jobs PaTH (Prepare-Trial-Hire) program.
Minister for Employment, Michaelia Cash, said the Turnbull Government was focused on creating more jobs and helping young people into work.
"We understand the best form of welfare is a job," Minister Cash said.
Businesses employing young people (15 to 24 years of age) on income support and registered with an employment services provider may be eligible for a Youth Bonus wage subsidy of up to $10,000.
"I encourage more business owners to consider the PaTH program which helps them take on a young Australian to grow their business," Minister Cash said.
Youth Jobs PaTH also offers young Australians access to job-ready training programs through the 'Prepare' element and internship opportunities through the 'Trial' element.
