Interns are unpaid by your business and their insurance is paid for by the Australian Government. Employers who take part will receive a payment of $1000 (GST inclusive) to help cover the costs of hosting an intern.
The intern receives a fortnightly incentive paid by the Australian Government, on top of their income support payment.
If you decide to employ your intern, or another young job seeker, you may be eligible for a wage subsidy of up to $6500 or $10,000 (GST inclusive).
