Australian Apprentice Wage Subsidy – Regional and Rural

New apprentices in rural and regional workplaces could be eligible for a wage subsidy if their apprenticeship is listed on the National Skills Shortage List.

As an apprentice you won’t receive the money directly, but it will make it easier for employers to hire you.

You can find out more about your eligibility here, and make sure you mention the subsidy when you apply for apprenticeships if you are eligible.

There are lots of trades on the National Skills Needs List – find them all here.
