Home Education Doing an apprenticeship Before you start an apprenticeship Financial support for apprentices

Financial support for apprentices

You may get a Centrelink payment, government incentive or loan to help you do an apprenticeship or traineeship.

You may be able to get a Centrelink payment from Services Australia.

Managing your Centrelink payment

If you already get a payment, you need to tell Services Australia when you start your apprenticeship or traineeship.

If your circumstances change, you need to tell Services Australia within 14 days. This is to make sure you get the right payment and amount.

Find out more about managing your payments while studying.

Australian Apprenticeships Incentive System

You may be eligible to get support to train in a priority occupation or if you need to move away from home. These links will take you to the Australian Apprenticeships website.

Apprenticeships Data Management System (ADMS)

ADMS is a secure platform where you can manage your apprenticeship, apply for incentives and track the progress of your claims.   

You can get ADMS help for apprentices, including how to set up access, on the Australian Apprenticeships website.

You can also get help from an Apprentice Connect Australia Provider. If you aren’t sure who your Apprentice Connect Australia Provider is, call the Skilling Hotline on 1800 020 108.

If you’ve already set it up, you can sign in to ADMS using your myGov details.
