Financial Support for Employers looking to employ an Apprentice or Trainee

Disability Australian Apprentice Wage Support (DAAWS) is a payment that assists employers of eligible Australian Apprentices with disability.

What is it?

DAAWS aims to encourage employers to provide Australian Apprenticeships to people with a permanent or temporary disability who are able to participate in open employment with suitable support and training.

The incentive is payable to an employer who employs an apprentice who satisfies the disability eligibility criteria. DAAWS is also available to employers who employ apprentices who become disabled during their apprenticeship

As an employer, you can receive $216.07 per week for a full-time Australian Apprentices, or on a pro-rata basis, according to the hours worked for a part-time Australian Apprentice.

Each year on 1 July, DAAWS payment rates will be adjusted in line with the March quarter Consumer Price Index (CPI) as published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).

Am I eligible?

You must be paying your apprentice at least $216.07 per week, or its part-time equivalent for the duration of the wage support.
The DAAWS assessment must be undertaken by a registered medical practitioner or registered psychologist who is qualified to make a diagnosis of disability. This cannot be a school counsellor.
The assessment of the apprentice’s needs must be genuine and not based on third party advice, or as part of a bulk assessment.
Where the apprentice is under 18, they must be accompanied by their parent or guardian.
