CDP class action
Maurice Blackburn has started a class action against the Commonwealth government over the Community Development Program (CDP), asking for compensation and an apology to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who were on the CDP between 1 July 2015 and 11 May 2021 and had to 'Work for the Dole'. People who were on the CDP in that period can register to tell their story and receive updates.
Who may be eligible
Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people who, between 1 July 2015 and 11 May 2021, had a job plan with a CDP provider, had to 'work for the dole' under that job plan, and received a Centrelink payment (Newstart Allowance, Jobseeker Payment, Youth Allowance or Parenting Payment).
