More apprentices and trainees will be able to access interest-free and income-contingent loans to help them meet daily living costs while completing their training, with the program expanded to include non-trade apprenticeships for the very first time. The Albanese Labor Government's expansion of the Trade Support Loans Act 2014 means approximately 35,000 additional apprentices in areas of skills shortage will become eligible for important cost-of-living support. With critical skills shortages in vital sectors like early childhood education, aged care and disability care, it's never been more important to support priority apprentices and trainees to complete their studies.
