When you employ an apprentice or trainee in Queensland, you may be eligible for financial support to reduce the cost of training and supervision throughout the apprenticeship or traineeship.

Financial support comes in many forms:

• one-off incentive payments
• subsidies (wages, training)
• discounts (workers’ compensation)
• exemptions (payroll tax).

Support payments do not cover the full cost of employing an apprentice or trainee. But, depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for more than one kind of payment.
