Support for Apprentices/Trainees with a Disability

All TAFE SA students, including apprentices and trainees can receive assistance through Student Success and Wellbeing, and can create an Access Plan.

The ‘Disabled Australian Apprentice Wage Support’ (DAAWS) scheme is a Commonwealth-funded initiative which supports apprentices/trainees to help them reach their potential as skilled workers.

The scheme may provide support for the off-the job component of your apprenticeship/traineeship, including mentoring, tutoring and interpreting.

For more information, contact one of our Student Success and Wellbeing officers, or your Australian Apprenticeship Network Provider. More information is available at these websites:
