- young people (including those in and transitioned from out-of-home care)
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
- people with disability
- mature age job seekers
- women re-entering the workforce
- veterans and ex-Australian Defence Force (ADF) members and their families
- people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds
- recently released prisoners.
