It will also contribute to simplifying and streamlining support for Australian Apprentices. The Incentives System contains a range of employer incentives and personal benefit payments to Australian Apprentices. The Incentives System will be delivered by Australian Apprenticeship Support Network (AASN) providers. Claims and payments associated with the program will be supported by the new Apprenticeship Data Management System (ADMS).
