Information on Australian Government Australian Apprenticeships Incentives
Australian Apprenticeships encompass all apprenticeships and traineeships. They combine time at work with training and can be full-time, part-time or school-
based. Australian Apprenticeships are a stepping stone to ongoing employment or further education and training, and a great way to get a head start to a
career.
The Australian Apprenticeships Incentives Program encourages employers to offer the kinds of employment-related training opportunities that will encourage
people to acquire and expand their working skills.
The criteria and funding of Australian Government Australian Apprenticeships Incentives payments may change during the term of this Training Contract in line
with Government priorities. These changes will be notified by your Apprenticeship Network Provider.
For further details about the incentives listed here, including application forms and advice about whether you may be eligible, contact your Apprenticeship
Network Provider.
This Training Contract has been designed to assess your eligibility for Australian Government Australian Apprenticeships Incentives.
These Incentives can include Commencement, Recommencement, Completion and other special incentives.
If you are eligible for Australian Government Incentives, you will need to complete a separate Claim Form available from your Apprenticeship Network Provider
in order to be paid. This Claim Form should be lodged following:
This code explains the rights and responsibilities of the people who sign this contract. Free copies of the code are available from your Apprenticeship Network
Provider.
Making choices
Contact your Apprenticeship Network Provider or relevant State/Territory government department, authority or agency for the list. (See the Contacts For
Further Information and Assistance section of this document for contacts).
· ask RTOs for accurate and timely information about training options they can offer you
· identify and select the training outcomes from nationally endorsed Training Packages or accredited courses that are available in your State/Territory
· negotiate a Training Plan with the RTO according to the relevant State/Territory government department, authority or agency.
b. Training Plans
A Training Plan sets out the training that an apprentice/trainee will do both on-the-job and off-the-job. It also sets out how the RTO will ensure the
Page 12 of 17
apprentice/trainee will receive quality training - both on-the-job and off-the-job.
It's important that the employer and the apprentice/trainee know how the Plan will work and are well-informed about it.
Once the apprentice/trainee successfully completes all assessment requirements of the Training Plan, the RTO must issue the qualification specified in the Plan.
If the apprentice/trainee only completes some of the competency standards, the RTO must issue a Statement of Attainment. The RTO will keep the relevant
records.
A range of Australian Government and State/ Territory incentives and subsidies may be available from time to time. For more information, see the Information
on Australian Government Australian Apprenticeships Incentives section of this document.
State/Territory government allowances may also be available where the apprentice/trainee has to travel away from home to attend training.
Check with your Apprenticeship Network Provider.
Existing workers who become apprentices/trainees may not attract Australian Government or State/Territory subsidies and incentives.
Apprentices/trainees who successfully complete their training receive a nationally recognised qualification. Qualification titles and levels are laid out in the
relevant nationally endorsed industry Training Package or accredited training course. Titles and levels are also on the Australian Qualifications Framework
certificates issued by RTOs. Qualification codes are available from the National Register, training.gov.au (www.training.gov.au). Your Apprenticeship Network
Provider or RTO can also provide this information.
· the student is enrolled in a senior secondary certificate under the relevant Education Act
· the school or education provider at which the student is enrolled acknowledges and endorses the Training Plan/Outline required by the
Apprenticeship/Traineeship Training Contract
· the Australian School-based Apprenticeship is recognised on the senior secondary certificate.
(Note: The term Australian Apprenticeships relates to apprenticeships and traineeships)
Question - Are you seeking credit to reduce the term of the Training Contract?
An apprentice/trainee may gain “credit” for relevant prior learning or experience. This prior learning or experience must be formally recognised and may mean
the duration of the Training Contract can be changed. Credit may also affect industrial relations arrangements and incentive payments.
For more information contact your Apprenticeship Network Provider or RTO.
Your RTO should discuss the issue of credit for prior learning with you during the negotiation of the Training Plan associated with this contract of training.

Question - Legal Name of Employer
The employer must provide the name of the employer's legal entity. This will be a person's name, a company name, or the name of an incorporated association,
NOT a trading name, business name, or name of a trust.
Question - Full-time/Part-time
Apprenticeships/traineeships may be undertaken full-time or part-time. A full-time apprentice/trainee is one whose ordinary hours of employment, including
the training component, are not less than the usual hours of employment for a full-time employee in that occupation. Part-time provisions vary across Australia
and across occupations. Averaging of hours may be possible in some jurisdictions. Please check with your State/Territory government, authority or agency or
your Apprenticeship Network Provider. Ticking either the full-time or part-time boxes confirms the apprentice/trainee is not working under casual or sub-
contracting arrangements whilst undertaking the apprenticeship/traineeship. See the Contacts for Further Information and Assistance section for further
contact details.
