New Enterprise Incentive Scheme (NEIS)

New Enterprise Incentive Scheme (NEIS) is a Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations self employment program for unemployed people who wish to start their own independent business. NEIS Providers are contracted to assess the viability of potential business owners' projects and offer training and support. Centrelink can provide information about the NEIS program to interested job seekers. The job seeker will then need to discuss participating in the program with their Job Services Australia provider.
