Support for trainees and apprentices
There are a number of state, territory and federal incentive schemes currently available. To see a comprehensive list of incentives and assistance that your business may be eligible for, use our Grants & Assistance Finder.
The Australian Apprenticeships System and User Choice are provided nationally to aim to increase the benefits of hiring apprentices and trainees.
Australian Apprenticeships
Australian Apprenticeships provide eligible employers with financial assistance to help reduce the cost of training for their apprentices. Employers may be eligible for funding under several incentive programs.
User Choice
User Choice is a government funded program that allows employers, together with their new apprentices and trainees, to choose which RTO will provide them with quality accredited training to meet their specific needs. User Choice is applied differently in each state and territory and works in conjunction with the Australian Apprenticeship System.
