Mrs Andrews: The Minister for Employment, Skills, Small and Family Business has provided the following answer to the honourable member's question: (1) As at 31 October 2019, $8.7 million has been reimbursed to employment service providers (providers) for 4527 businesses who were paid PaTH Internships Host Payments. The Department of Employment, Skills, Small and Family Business does not record the annual aggregate turnover for businesses using PaTH Internships.
