People with a disability
People with a disability have a good chance of joining the workforce if they enter through an Australian Apprenticeship.
As the employer, you could have the dedication, commitment and enthusiasm of a truly valuable employee.
MEGT can assist employers to access Australian Government funding, wage support, workplace alterations, mentoring, tutorial or interpreting tutorial or interpreting services (subject to eligibility criteria).
Disabled Australian Apprentice Wage Support (DAAWS) is payable to employers as an alternative to the standard incentives.
Note
The Tutorial, Mentor and Interpreter Assistance for Australian Apprentices with a disability are payable only to the Registered Training Organisation who delivers the training. Australian Apprentices with a disability may attract these forms of assistance providing DAAWS eligibility is met regardless of the employer receiving the wage support.
