Once you have selected an apprentice or trainee

Once you have recruited your apprentice/trainee you are required to organise the signing of a training contract. You need to contact an Australian Apprenticeships Centre to organise signing the training contract as soon as your apprentice or trainee starts work.  The training contract needs to be lodged within 21 days of the apprentice/trainee starting work.

The Australian Apprenticeships Centre will discuss selection of a registered training organisation, lodging of the training contract and assist with claims for employer incentives and apprentice allowances.

Probation

The probation period is one month for each year of the traineeship/apprenticeship.  Most trainees will be on probation for one month and most apprentices will be on probation for a period of three months from the date of commencement.  During the probation period the training arrangement can be cancelled by either party.
