1.0 ISO19139 <div><div style='font-size:1.2019em; margin:0px 0px 0.75em;'>Abstract</div>The Employment Service Area (ESA) geospatial boundary was initially developed prior to 2009, primarily based on grouping Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Statistical Local Area (SLA) boundaries. Following the introduction of the Community Development Program (CDP, formerly the Remote Jobs and Communities Program) on 01 July 2013, it took responsibility for Employment Services in remote areas. As a result, some ESA boundaries changed and some ESAs were removed to exclude remote areas. Further information regarding the Community Development Program is available from the National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA) website.<a href='https://www.niaa.gov.au/our-work/employment-and-economic-development/community-development-program-cdp' target='_blank' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>The Community Development Program (CDP) | NIAA</a>Note: The Norfolk Island ESA has been removed from 30 June 2025.
