Long-term jobless people under 30 would be eligible for a $2500 "Job Commitment Bonus" if they secure work and hold on to it for a continuous period of 12 months, and they'll get another $4000 if they're still employed a year after that, under a Coalition government.

Jobless young people will be given financial assistance of up to $6000 to move to regional areas to seek work or $3000 to move to metropolitan areas.

The changes, the total cost of which has not been revealed, would be buttressed by a restoration of the Coalition's work-for-the-dole system.
