Pay

You will be paid under either a Trade Apprentice Award or the National Training Wage. In most instances, the State Government will pay for the bulk of your training costs for your Apprenticeship or Traineeship so long as you are a new employee to the business.

How much you earn depends on the industry you are in, the job you are doing and which industrial arrangement you come under:

• an Industry Award
• an Individual Transitional Employment Agreement (ITEA)
• a Certified Agreement
• a State or Territory approved contract of employment.
