Getting to Work Report
Oct 2024
As one of Australia’s largest employment services providers and a leader in employment services, MAX is uniquely placed to gain a greater insight into what impacts a lack of accessible and affordable transportation has on finding, securing, and maintaining employment.
In June and July 2024, MAX distributed surveys to MAX customers in employment services via email and text message.
The survey of 16 to 23 questions received 838 responses and asked about respondents’ access to various transport options, how transport has affected their employment status and their opinions solutions to transport-related barriers.
We also received responses from more than 301 businesses across Australia to a 16-question survey about how transport related infrastructure factors into business location decisions. We also asked for their opinions on the impact transport barriers had on their ability to recruit staff and their solutions to mitigate these impacts.

Closing the gap report
Jan 2021
A majority of large employers intend to increase the size of their Indigenous Australian workforce in 2021. But those looking for work remain very cautious about the future, according to a new MAX report on Closing the Gap.
We surveyed our Indigenous Australian customers at the end of 2020 on topics including the support they most value from employers and their expectations for the future. A separate poll of large and medium size employer partners was launched at the same time.
