GARDNER (Morialta—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (22 June 2022). (Estimates Committee A) The Hon. B.I. BOYER House of Assembly Wright Minister for Education, Training and Skills Commonwealth Employer Incentives The Hon. B.I. BOYER (Wright—Minister for Education, Training and Skills): The Australian government’s Australian Apprenticeships Incentive System (AAIS), introduced on 1 July 2022, provides a tiered wage subsidy to employers who take on apprentices and trainees in a range of priority occupations. There are two traineeship pathways in South Australia aligned to the Certificate III in Individual Support and both qualify as priority occupations. There are several variables that impact on each trainee’s eligibility and subsequent funding that will go to employers under the Australian Apprenticeships Incentive Scheme. Subsides are assessed on a case-by-case basis depending on the individual circumstances of the eligible trainee. Australian Apprenticeship Support Network providers contracted by the Australian government can provide advice on how much federal funding will go to employers offering traineeships in this area.
