Green Corps, also referred to as Green Corps an Australian Government Initiative was a program funded by the Australian Federal Government. Open to people aged 17 to 20, Green Corps aimed to provide accredited training over a six month period. Teams of ten participants were assigned a single environmental project and led by a team leader or supervisor. The Green Corps program was announced in the Australian federal budget of 1996 and commenced in 1997 and continued until 2009 after which time it was replaced by the Rudd Government's (2007–10) National Green Jobs Corps which launched in 2010. Participants who successfully completed a Green Corps project received a TAFE certificate as well as basic occupational health and safety and first aid certification.
