Government Funding Assistance Programs

You may be eligible for a grant or funding assistance under an available program.

Usually you need to fit one of the government's identified categories, such as:

• you are a jobseeker looking for work
• you are a woman with children returning to the workforce (even if you are married)
• you are a mature age person
• you are on an apprenticeship or traineeship
• you are disadvantaged
• or you might fit into another category depending on the funding; the government is even considering funding people who are already working (to update their skills) so keep an eye on this website for updates.

• Free Training for Jobseekers: Productivity Places Program PPP (Australia-wide)

• Parents Returning to Work Program $1000 PRTE (Victoria) NOW OPEN
