Free Tools For First Year Apprentinces In Queensland

If you are in the first year of a construction, plumbing or electrical apprenticeship, you may be eligible for a rebate of up to $1,000 to cover the cost of tools you purchased for the apprenticeship. The eligibility period for the rebate is being backdated to 1 January 2024.

What We Pay?

If you're eligible, we can reimburse you for the purchase of tools up to $1,000.
You can't claim again if you receive a rebate of less than $1,000, so it is important to consider the tool purchases you will include in your claim.
There is $4 million available under the Free Tools for First Years program, and claims will be open until the funds are exhausted.
