Your first appointment with us
When you come to your local APM office, you'll meet your friendly, employment consultant who is dedicated to you and your job search.
Once you've registered with Centrelink and confirmed APM will be your employment services provider, you'll be contacted by us directly to set up your first appointment.
Your employment consultant will also email you a survey, which you will need to bring.
At this first meeting, we'll talk through how we help and what you need to do. We want to get to know you and understand where you're at.
We're interested in your strengths, your goals and any challenged to finding employment.
