37017 (2026). Arena Williams to the Minister for Building and Construction: As Building and Construction Minister, does he intend to make sure smaller building companies are not disadvantaged over larger building companies in the receipt of Government-funded apprenticeship support; if so, how?

Hon Simon Watts: Government-funded apprenticeship support, such as Apprenticeship Boost, is available to eligible employers of any size. Payments go directly to the employer taking on a qualifying apprentice, so smaller building companies can access the same support as larger ones.
