No. The Koomarri Career Coach accompanying the participant will be present at all times. What do I need to do? We ask that you provide suitable tasks for the participant to complete during their weekly shifts. The Career Coach can help to identify these tasks and will also oversee the completion of the work. The goal is to have the participant completing tasks with reduced assistance from their Career Coach by the end of their work trial. How long are work trials? Work trials are usually for a school term – 10 weeks (2-3 hours per week). Can I participate in the program more than once? Yes!! Providing our participants with a variety of work trials enhances their skills and experiences in a working environment, and we encourage businesses to remain in the program.

CASE STUDY EASTLAKE FOOTBALL CLUB Meet Charlotte - Cafe Assistant Charlotte is employed directly by Eastlakes Football Club, Kingston, as a café assistant. She started at Eastlakes as a work experience participant and during that time was able to learn the job tasks and get to know her colleagues. The job is a great fit for Charlotte - she is really outgoing and loves serving customers and making coffees! Many of the regular customers know her and enjoy having a chat. Prior to Eastlakes, Charlotte had completed several different work experiences in hospitality but none of them was the right fit for her. Through Koomarri's Customised Employment program our Career Coaches documented what did and didn't work so that we could identify a business she could thrive in. Thanks to Eastlakes giving her a go, we've found her a great job and Eastlakes have found a great employee! Charlotte has become more confident and independent with 1:1 support provided by Koomarri at all times. She is learning new skills, including taking orders and using the cash register. Charlotte is a valued member of the Eastlakes team and has recently been offered two additional days of work in the bistro!

STAPLING – good news for workers The Australian Government has introduced super reforms for the 2020 – 2021 budget, called ‘Your Future, Your Super’. With these new laws, they expect to save Australians $17.9 billion over 10 years*. Part of the reforms is the introduction of ‘super stapling’, which refers to how your nominated super account is attached (‘stapled’) to you. Previously, if you changed jobs, your new employer could set up a super account for you with their default super fund, which may be a different fund from yours. Now, with stapling, employers are generally required to pay your super into your existing stapled account. The idea behind stapling is to prevent people from having multiple super accounts, paying multiple fees and insurances. The forecast over ten years is that stapling will reduce multiple accounts by 2.1 million, saving workers about $2.8 billion in duplicate fees, insurance and lost earnings*

Choose your account The introduction of super stapling makes it even more important for you to actively choose a super fund best suited to your circumstances and needs. To choose the super fund that your employer contributes to simply speak to them about how you can advise your nominated super account. If you start with a new employer on or after 1 November 2021 and don’t choose a fund, your employer will generally pay your contributions to the account that has been stapled to you.

Comparing super fund performance As well as the introduction of stapling with ‘Your Future, Your Super’, the YourSuper Comparison Tool has been introduced. This tool could help you see how your super fund is performing and choose a well-performing fund. By changing from an under-performing fund to a wellperforming fund:

> A working Australian in their 20s could have around $87,000 more when they retire*

> A 50-year-old working Australian could have around $60,000 more when they retire*

It’s good to see the benefits these changes will bring to employees across Australia. For members who choose for their super, you can be confident you’re with one of Australia’s top performing funds^. Our goal will always be to help you achieve your best retirement outcome.

What does super stapling mean for employers? Introduced as part of the recent Your Future, Your Super federal government measures, the introduction of stapling means working Australians will be attached to one super fund for life unless they choose otherwise.

HAVE HUGE SCREEN TIME Keno’s Retail Image display is a simple way to amplify your venue’s Keno overall presence and create a bigger and better customer experience. The largescale, digital, display solution is designed specifically to attract new players to the game. Talk to your Keno Sales Executive about implementing it this year. KWIKPIK EVOLUTION Playing Keno is becoming even quicker, simpler, and more affordable for new customers thanks to four new Kwikpik games, which offer a fresh version of this popular way to play. Following a six-week pilot across 57 selected venues in NSW and Queensland in 2021, four Kwikpik bundles were chosen based on customer and venue feedback and will now be trialled in around 700 venues in both states in the coming months. Look out for the results later this year.

ALWAYS A SECOND CHANCE Keno can help boost your sales year-round via the popular Second Chance Draw. At the end of every month, Keno randomly draws five players to win $1,000 in cash each. In the last six months of 2021, Keno received more than 271,000 entries into this ongoing promotion. Animations are currently running on Keno display screens encouraging entry.
