22710 (2025). Shanan Halbert to the Minister for Vocational Education: What funding changes, if any, have been made to the Apprenticeship Boost during this parliamentary term?

Hon Penny Simmonds: Due to the coalition Government’s commitment to continue Apprenticeship Boost beyond the end of 2024, Apprenticeship Boost was made permanent in Budget 2024. From 1 January 2025, Apprenticeship Boost now supports first year apprentices only, in industries with identified skills shortages.
