Most of our courses are eligible for Victorian government funding (Skills First Program). If you are eligible for a government subsidised place, it can cover the majority, if not all of your course costs. Your enrolment will be processed after you have attended your first class and you  have confirmed that you wish to continue the course using government funding.  Bring your driver’s license and Medicare card (or Australian/NZ passport) if you wish to access funding.

Skills First Government Funding

You may be eligible for a government-subsidised place through the Skills First Funding Program. If you are eligible, the government will contribute to the cost of your training. To check your individual eligibility or if you want further course information call/email the office. There are limitations to using Victorian government funding, you need to make sure you are using your funding for the right course, as it may affect your access to future government funding.
