Australian Apprenticeships Centres (formerly New Apprenticeships Centres) are contracted by the Australian Government to provide one-stop shops for those seeking to hire Australian Apprentices* or to take up an Australian Apprenticeship as a career path.
Australian Apprenticeships Centres:
Australian Apprenticeships Centres provide information, administration services and support to employers and Australian Apprentices. They assist with the signing of training contracts and also, assess, approve and process the payment of Australian Government incentives to eligible employers, and personal benefits to eligible Australian Apprentices specifically to assist them in the early years of their Australian Apprenticeship when their wages are generally at their lowest.
Australian Apprenticeships Centres also provide information which may assist employers and/or Australian Apprentices with Australian Apprenticeships placements. Australian Apprenticeships Centres will be able to refer such enquiries to appropriate organisations such as Job Placement Organisations and Group Training Organisations who will be able to assist them with their enquiries.
As part of its policy paper - Skilling Australia for the Future, the Australian Government announced that it will expand the role of existing Australian Apprenticeships Centres to establish a network of Skills and Training Information Centres (STICs). STICs will provide on skills and training information and advice to employers, employees, job-seekers and other interested parties, and refer employers to Industry Skills Councils. STICs services commenced from 1 April 2008. For more information contact an Australian Apprenticeships Centre near you.
You can visit an Australian Apprenticeships Centre - they operate from more than 300 sites across Australia.

If you are a school student thinking of starting an Australian Apprenticeship
while still at school, your school careers adviser should be your first point of
call for information on Australian Apprenticeships. If you still require further
information, an Australian Apprenticeships Centre in your region may be able to
help.
*In some states, Australian Apprenticeships are known as apprenticeships and
traineeships. In the ACT and the NT they are referred to as Australian Apprenticeships.
