Jobs and Skills Australia (National Skills Commissioner Repeal) 2022

# Jobs and Skills Australia (National Skills Commissioner Repeal) Bill 2022 ## What it does This bill scraps the National Skills Commissioner role that was created in 2020. The government is replacing it with a new organisation called Jobs and Skills Australia, which will do similar work but under a different structure. ## Why it matters The National Skills Commissioner was supposed to advise the government on skills shortages and training needs across the country. By replacing this position with Jobs and Skills Australia, the government is essentially reorganising how it gets advice on what job training Australians actually need — but the goal stays the same. ## Key details - **The repeal is tied to the new organisation**: This bill only kicks in when the Jobs and Skills Australia Act 2022 becomes law. If that bill doesn't pass, this repeal doesn't happen either. - **Complete removal**: The entire National Skills Commissioner Act 2020 is being scrapped — there's no partial change or transition period. - **No penalties or fines**: This is administrative restructuring, not regulation that affects individuals or businesses directly.
