Apprentice subsidy continues - and expands

The Australian Government has announced the extension and expansion of the Supporting Apprentices and Trainees wage subsidy, to include medium-sized businesses who had an apprentice in place on 1 July 2020.

Eligible employers can apply for a wage subsidy of 50% of an eligible apprentice or trainee's wages paid until 31 March 2021. In addition to the existing support for small businesses, medium-sized businesses will now be eligible for the subsidy, for wages paid from 1 July 2020 to 31 March 2021.

Further information about eligibility can be found on the government website for Employment or at the Employment Department newsroom.

For information on how to apply for the subsidy, contact an Australian Apprenticeship Support Network Provider.
