The ACT Government has reaffirmed its commitment to supporting ACT apprentices and trainees by once again offering a cost-of-living payment to help with the cost of tools and equipment.
Eligible ACT-based apprentices and trainees will receive a $250 payment, with first-year apprentices and trainees receiving an additional $250.
This $1.8 million investment is continuing for the second year running, following the successful delivery of the payment in 2024.
The ACT Government have begun contacting ACT apprentices and trainees about the 2025-26 cost of living payment.
Eligible apprentices and trainees must meet the following requirements:
- live in the ACT
- be employed by an ACT employer
- be active in their apprenticeship/traineeship training on 1 July 2025.
