Australian Apprenticeships' is the new name for 'New Apprenticeships and Traineeships'. Many employers use the Australian Apprenticeship system to train and provide a qualification for their new employee and the training opportunities that may apply to their existing workforce.

MAS National provides a FREE service and we are here to Make Apprenticeships Simple. When employing an Apprentice or Trainee, there are a number of events that occur over the duration of the Training Contract.

Want to know what happens after your company signs on an Australian Apprentice?

• Australian Apprenticeships now include a wide range of industries.
• Training plans are customised to suit the needs of employers and trainees. Employers will find that most training providers have flexible, accredited training to suit you and your Australian Apprentice needs.
• Training can be full time, on-the-job, or a mix of work and off-the-job training that suits you. You can also hire a part time or school-based Australian Apprentice.
• You pay your Australian Apprentice a training wage that reflects the amount of time they have worked. The wage rate will depend on whether the employee is undertaking a Traineeship or Australian Apprenticeship, and whether they are receiving National Training Wage Rates. For further information about training rates, Contact us
• You may receive financial incentives from the Australian Government when you employ an Australian Apprentice that can assist you in your bottom line.
• Each State or Territory Government may have their own incentives or benefits for businesses which employ Australian Apprentices. This can include funding to your chosen Registered Training Organisation for training delivery, Workcover exemptions, Payroll Tax exemptions and the Small Business Vehicle Registration Rebate Scheme. Subject to certain eligibility criteria. Contact us for more information.
• You can choose from a broader range of motivated applicants who have a demonstrated interest in working in your industry.
• The end product: Once your Australian Apprentice completes their training, you will have a skilled, 100% qualified team member on hand, who is familiar with your operations and well-equipped to benefit your business.
• If you have a question specifically in regard to completing a claim form, you can email us at claim.requests@masnational.com.au
