Ask the chosen Australian Apprenticeship Centre to send a representative to your workplace for a face-to-face visit and ask any questions. Their field officers are trained and experienced.
Australian Apprenticeships Centres are contracted by the Australian Government to provide a wide range of services. These include help with choosing the Australian Apprenticeship most appropriate to your business and advice on recruitment, employment and training options. You can obtain advice on legal requirements, paperwork, financial incentives for you and allowances for your Australian Apprentice. The centre will provide assistance with retaining your Australian Apprentice until completion of the training period. |
Registered Training Organisations (RTOs)
You can obtain help from the Australian Apprenticeships Centre to find out which Registered Training Organisation can deliver your training requirements in your area.
If you do not wish to employ an Australian Apprentice directly, you could engage a Group Training Organisation. They offer a flexible and cost-effective way of employing your Australian Apprentice.
They manage the legal employment of the Australian Apprentice and then place them with you (as the host business) for an agreed period of time. You will be able to more effectively meet changing market demands by hiring according to your peaks and troughs, thus reducing your employment costs when your work is slow.
For contact with a Group Training Organisation in your area call 1800 819 747.
