What Am I Entitled To? Apprentice Scheme Checker

What Am I Entitled To? Apprentice Scheme Checker

Answer six quick questions and we’ll build a personalised shortlist of government payments and support you should look into — with a plain-English guide for each.

1. What’s your situation?
3. Is your trade on the national priority / skills-in-demand list?

This is the list of trades the government is actively trying to grow. If you’re not certain, pick “Not sure”.

4. Did you move away from your family home to take up the apprenticeship?
5. Do you need to buy your own tools?
6. Will you study at TAFE or an RTO?

An RTO is a Registered Training Organisation — the place that delivers your off-the-job training.

Please answer all six questions to see your results.

Your entitlements shortlist

    Next step: Confirm what you actually qualify for at apprenticeships.gov.au or by talking to your Australian Apprenticeship Support Network provider. Some payments depend on your occupation, your employer and the timing of when you started — so always check your own situation.

It doesn’t quote payment amounts — eligibility and rates change and depend on your occupation, employer, location and timing. Always confirm your entitlements with the official source (apprenticeships.gov.au and your state or territory training authority) before relying on them.
