Employing an Australian Apprentice

You make all the hiring decisions with an Australian Apprenticeship. Group Training Organisations can organise for you to share an Australian Apprentice with another business if you don't have enough work for an ongoing or full-time position. You can also engage an Australian Apprentice part-time while he or she is still at school through an Australian School-based Apprenticeship.

There are a number of ways to find an Australian Apprentice:

  • Contact your local Job Services Australia Provider.

  • Recruit someone you know or who has been recommended to you.

  • Advertise the position in a local paper or on Australian Job Search


You can also:

  • Contact your local Group Training provider.

  • Engage an Australian School Based Apprentice.


If you are interested in employing an Australian Apprentice, you should read the National Code of Good Practice for Australian Apprenticeships which is available on the Australian Apprenticeships Website. It explains in plain English what is involved in entering into a Training Contract

 Australian Apprenticeship Centres are responsible for determining eligibility for  incentives. Other assistance and incentives may be available from your State or Territory Training Authority
