| Summary |
'There are a number of factors which combined make this an opportune time to review the AMEP. There have been considerable changes in the profile of AMEP clients and the Australian labour market in the last ten years. Between 1997 and 2002, most humanitarian entrants came from the former Yugoslavia and Iraq and had average to high levels of education. Since 2002, the regional focus of the Humanitarian Program has changed in response to United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) resettlement priorities. There are significant numbers in the current cohort of humanitarian entrants with little or no education who require both English language and literacy skills. These clients are struggling to make gains in the current AMEP. The Australian labour market has also changed significantly during the same period, with labour shortages being experienced across a number of sectors. New arrivals are keen to take advantage of this situation and move into employment quickly, and must be supported in their decision to do so. An audit undertaken by Ernst & Young in 2007 noted that the current strategic goal and objectives of the program do not align. Several recommendations to improve program administration were made and these need to be considered. The AMEP contracts will expire in June 2010 and a new tender process will begin shortly. Reviewing the AMEP provides an opportunity for the necessary program changes to be considered. The outcomes of the review will inform the development of the Request for Tender for the 2010-2015 AMEP contracts.'
