FAQ & Ask

Frequently asked questions.

Quick answers about who we help, how it works, and what it costs — or ask our AI assistant anything else.

Who is The Green Collar for?
Justice-affected men and women across Australia — including ex-jail, ex-institution, NDIS clients and anyone with a criminal record looking for a fair shot at employment.
Do I need a referral?
No. Call 1300 351 651 or email stu@thegreencollar.com.au and we'll talk through next steps.
How much does it cost?
It depends on how your engagement is arranged. If you're referred through a Job Network provider there may be no cost. Otherwise, a fee for individualised service may apply based on your requirements. In most cases you'll take part as a free service — we have a range of programs depending on your location and needs.
Are you a recognised provider?
Yes. The Green Collar is a registered Australian social enterprise and partners with Workforce Australia, Wise Employment and many others.
Can employers list jobs with you?
Yes. Visit our Industry Partners page or call us to discuss roles open to second-chance hiring.
Do you work outside Victoria?
Our peer-support and online sessions are available Australia-wide. Job placements depend on partner employers in your area — give us a call to find out.
