Student Co-Contribution Fees:
Subsidised traineeship/apprenticeship requires the payment of student contribution fees for each unit of competency included in the Training Plan.

Employer incentives are available for some qualifications. Please see here for any incentives that may be available to you.
Concession rates apply to those holding a Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card or is the partner or a dependant of a person who holds a Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card, and is named on that card, or where payment of the co-contribution fee would cause the apprentice/trainee extreme financial hardship.
There are no additional costs to the trainee or employer apart from those outlined within the individually prepared Employer Agreement.
