<p>Queensland has recently changed the criteria for Job Assist with regards to the customer eligibility and the outcome in both of the stages.</p>

<li>the business begins the two point period with negative working capital and remains in that position at the end of the two point period.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Outcomes for the Customer</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Stage 1</strong></p>
<p>A business assessment is undertaken by an experienced consultant to:</p>
<ul>

</ul>
<p><strong>Stage 2</strong></p>
<p>Proposed outcomes include:</p>
<ul>
<li>improved working capital position</li>
</ul>
