Taking on an apprentice with disability

Taking on an apprentice with disability

If you want to hire an apprentice with disability, Disabled Australian Apprentice Wage Support (DAAWS) could help.

DAAWS provides a payment to employers of eligible Australian Apprentices with disability. Your organisation may also get DAAWS if an employee becomes disabled during an apprenticeship.

You may also be able to get financial support through the Employment Assistance Fund (EAF). It can cover the costs of work-related changes. And, it can fund services to support an eligible employee with a disability.

For more information on DAAWS, visit the Australian Apprenticeships website.
