Funding & incentive schemes

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 funding 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 from state to state according to their individual needs.

User Choice works in conjunction with the Australian Apprenticeships System.
