Australian Government
Information on incentives for employers and Australian Apprentices is available on the Australian Apprenticeships website or from your selected Australian Apprenticeships Centre. 

ACT Government

Under the Payroll Tax Act 1987, a Payroll Tax exemption is the only incentive offered in the ACT for wages paid or payable. Details on all Payroll Tax exemptions can be found on the website of ACT Revenue Office.

Additional support funding to support training is available through the Apprenticeships Section of Training and Tertiary Education Directorate (TaTE) of the ACT Department of Education and Training for Australian Apprentices who may have learning difficulties. Students may require additional support in areas such as literacy and numeracy, sign language interpreter services, or mentoring.  RTOs can apply in writing to TaTE for funding for such services and applications will be considered on the individual merits of each case.  Information is available in the current year’s ACT Requirements for Registered Training Organisation (link to  Department’s website.
