Job seekers will be required to meet Centrelink staff more regularly under changes announced by the Federal Government.

Financial Services Minister Chris Bowen says job seekers will be required to attend fortnightly interviews with Centrelink.

The new policy will target a range of job seekers, including young people, those who are newly unemployed and the long-term unemployed.
