Wage Subsidies are for new and ongoing employment positions. They can be for full-time, part-time, casual, or even traineeship or apprenticeship positions.

How to access a Wage Subsidy

These Australian Government funded incentives aim to increase employment through various programs including Workforce Australia Employment and Transition to Work services, as well as the Disability Employment Services program.

If you’re looking to hire a new employee, these programs can provide valuable support and resources.

To access a Wage Subsidy, you will need to enter into a Wage Subsidy agreement with ETC.

You will need a Workforce Australia Online for Business account to approve your Wage Subsidy agreement, update your details and manage Wage Subsidy payments online.

You must finalise your Wage Subsidy agreement within 28 days of the new employee’s start date to be eligible for payment.
