Group Training Organisations who comply with the National Standards for Group Training Organisations and other eligibility criteria are eligible to receive the Special Group Training Organisation Certificate II Australian Apprenticeships Completion Incentive (payable at a rate of $1,000 per completion). This incentive is payable to both ' for profit' and 'not for profit' Group Training Organisations. The incentive supports the training of Australian Apprentices from disadvantaged backgrounds and those who are not well supported in the labour market.
If your organisation has not been accredited under the National Standards for Group Training Organisations, you should contact your State or Territory Training Authority for further information on the assessment process in place for accreditation. Payment of incentives will be subject to employers and their Australian Apprentices satisfying eligibility criteria as set out in the Australian Government Australian Apprenticeships Incentives Programme Guidelines.
All incentives are paid through Australian Apprenticeships Centres. If you have not previously made any incentives claims for an Australian Apprentice, you may need to advise your chosen Australian Apprenticeships Centre that you have been accredited under the National Standards for Group Training Organisations in the State or Territory of your registration.
