The Work programme was launched nationally on 1 June 2011. Once referred, claimants remain on the Work programme for two years or until they find sustained employment and the provider has claimed all available payments for the time the individual spends in employment (or it is deemed that Work Choice is better equipped to meet their needs).

The latest official statistics on Work programme referrals and attachments up to the end of January 2012 were published on 9 May 2012 on the Department's website:
