GOVERNMENT FUNDED COURSES
JOB SEEKER PROGRAM
Government-funded courses in Australia are a valuable resource and excellent opportunity for individuals seeking to enter or transition into employment, especially in essential industries facing workforce shortages. These programs not only alleviate the financial burden associated with gaining a qualification, but also address workforce shortages in sectors identified by the State Government. By making education more accessible, these initiatives encourage job seekers to pursue new career paths into high-demand fields, ultimately contributing to a strong and resilient economy and ensuring these sectors are well-equipped for future demands.
Studying at WA Academy provides access to multiple government-funded training courses offered by the Department of Training and Workforce Development in Western Australia. To qualify for these opportunities, students must review and meet the specific eligibility and selection criteria prior to enrolment.

- Be 18 years of age or older.
- Be un-employed or under-employed and working a maximum of 10 hours per week.

What fees do I pay?
The Government covers the training provider’s course fee upon enrolment, but the student does still need to pay for a small portion of fees including resource fees, which includes textbooks other study materials.
