Job Seeker Classification Instrument

The Job Seeker Classification Instrument (JSCI) is a tool used by Centrelink to determine what employment assistance you may be eligible for. It is mostly used to assess your eligibility for Employment Services.

The JSCI consists of a series of questions aimed at identifying what barriers you face entering the workforce. The JSCI is not intended to provide an individual assessment of your needs.

In some cases, if you tell us you have a disability that may affect your ability to work, a separate assessment, called a Job Capacity Assessment, may be needed to look at the impact of this disability. From this assessment, a decision will made to refer you to either Job Services Australia or Disability Employment Services.

For more information, telephone Centrelink on 13 2717 or visit your nearest Centrelink Customer Service Centre.
