Australian Apprenticeship wages vary according to the characteristics of the person you have chosen to employ (e.g. years of school completed), the type of Australian Apprenticeship and the industry or occupation. An Australian Apprentice is usually paid a training wage that reflects that he/she will be undergoing training as part of their employment. In other respects you generally treat a Australian Apprentice the same as all other employees and are required to pay superannuation, workers' compensation and other entitlements or requirements. The Victorian State Government offers exemption on workers’ compensation premiums and payroll tax.
