Published: 11 December 2024

If you’re starting a full time Australian Apprenticeship or traineeship next year, there are payments to support you.

An apprenticeship or traineeship is a great way to learn and earn an income at the same time.

You don’t need to wait until you start to claim Youth Allowance, Austudy or ABSTUDY for 2025.

You can claim now!

Create a myGov account, link it to Centrelink and make your claim.

You’ll also need to send us any identity and support documents we ask for.

Once your claim has been made, you can track its progress online.
