Australian Apprenticeship Support Loans Act 2014

A person is qualified for Australian apprenticeship support loan if:

the person is an Australian resident; and

the person is undertaking a qualifying apprenticeship; and

the person has notified the Secretary of the person’s tax file number; and

the person meets any other conditions prescribed by the rules.

A qualifying apprenticeship is an apprenticeship:

through which a person is undertaking a qualification:

at a level prescribed by the rules; and

leading to an occupation or a qualification specified on the Australian Apprenticeships Priority List; and

which meets any other requirements prescribed by the rules.

The rules may prescribe circumstances in which a person is, or is not, taken to be undertaking a qualifying apprenticeship.

Without limiting the circumstances that may be prescribed for the purposes of subsection (3), the rules may prescribe, as circumstances in which a person is taken to be undertaking a qualifying apprenticeship, the period between:

the time a person successfully completes a qualifying apprenticeship; and

the time a designated State/Territory training authority notifies the Secretary that the person has done so.
