Australian Apprenticeship Services and Supports Discussion Paper
|
Earlier this week DEWR released the Apprenticeship Services and Supports Discussion Paper which explores the existing services and supports and seeks views on opportunities to address three key questions facing the Apprenticeships System.
|
- What changes are needed to drive up the completion rate?
- How can the services delivered better encourage and support apprentices from diverse backgrounds?
- How can the support services be optimised to meet the current and future needs of apprentices and employers?

National Training Awards
|
The Australian Training Awards recognise and celebrate outstanding achievements in the vocational education and training sector.
|
The Australian Training Awards commenced in 1994. Over this time many individuals, businesses, and registered training organisations have been rewarded for showcasing best practice in VET.
|
The Awards are held annually in November in a different state or territory. The 2022 Awards will be held in Adelaide, South Australia, on Friday 18 November 2022.
|
|
AEN wish all the award finalist the best of luck.

Director ID – Deadline Date Fast Approaching
|
Any directors appointed under the Corporations Act 2001 may face serious penalties if they do not obtain a director ID by 30 November 2022 – this includes directors of a company, registered Australian body, registered foreign company or Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander corporation.
|
It’s important that any Nominated Officers and Relevant Persons associated with a labour hire licence, Not for Profit or registered business meet their legal obligations.
|
|
How to apply for a director ID
|
- You will need a MygovID, with at least standard identity strength, to apply for your director ID – the Australian Taxation Office has more information on their website.
- Gather documents with personal information that the ATO has about you.
- Lodge your application online for a director ID using your MygovID.
Once you receive your director ID, you must pass it on to the company’s responsible record-holder. You must also pass it onto to the record-holder of subsequent companies you direct in the future.
|
|
What are the penalties for not having a director ID?
|
|
In 2022 ABRS announced four new offences for not having a Director ID under the Act.
|
|
Penalties can range up to $1,100,000 if existing directors do not have a director ID in place by 30 November 2022.

Retrenched Apprentices and Trainees Program
|
|
|
Since the program commenced in May 2020, a total of 920 participants have been supported to date.
|
|
|
|
|
Apprentices and trainees who have lost employment are encouraged to register.
|
Once registered, apprentices and trainees will be assisted by one of our program officers until placed with a host employer through a Group Training Organisation (GTO), or directly with an employer.
|
|
If you have an apprenticeship position you would like to fill, please contact the AEN Office so we can forward potential candidates that meet your criteria.
