The Commissioner may contact an agency’s Local Jobs First Administrator or Chief Procurement Officer in writing to request that the agency undertake a Local Jobs First compliance audit.
The Audit Request will be attached with the draft Terms of Reference and a copy of the Commissioner’s Local Jobs First Compliance Audit Procedures. Once the Terms of Reference for the audit have been agreed, the Commissioner will request that the agency comply with these. The agency may either procure consultancy services to conduct the audit on behalf of the agency or conduct the audit with internal resources. The agency is required to cover the cost of the audit.
The Commissioner requests that the agency submit interim and final audit reports to the Commissioner upon completion and within the agreed timeframe, including a management action plan to address the findings or recommendations arising from the report.
The full copy of the report must be submitted to the Commissioner by email at office@localjobsfirst.vic.gov.au.
