• are an Australian citizen or permanent resident
• are currently employed OR recently unemployed (within nine months) and not registered with an Australian Government employment services provider
• have completed a Skills Checkpoint assessment that identified training opportunities through the Skills Checkpoint for Older Workers Program (Program).

You can find out more information about the Incentive and the Program by:

You may be able to obtain the Incentive in relation to training that we provide. However, we do not facilitate the Program and Incentive, and nor can we advise you about your eligibility.

The TAE50116 Diploma of Vocational Education and Training covers how to deliver training and assessment services usually within Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) within the vocational education and training (VET) sector.
