Strategic Review of the Australian Apprenticeship Incentive System
The Australian Government has undertaken a review of the Australian Apprenticeship Incentive System (Incentive System). The Incentive System provides financial support to apprentices, trainees and employers working in priority industries. It is intended to encourage people to start an apprenticeship or traineeship and see it through to completion. This is to ensure Australia has workers with the trade and technical skills needed by industry, providing a secure, well-paid work and career advancement. The review investigated how support can be best-placed to increase the completion rate. The Government has also released a fact sheet which provides an overview of the report and its findings for apprentices with disability. (January 2025)
