Welcome to Become a Bricklayer

Claiming ABBTF Incentives - Simple as 1, 2, 3

The ABBTF apprentice subsidy of $6,000 is paid over the term of the apprenticeship and to claim, the process is easy:

1. A simple phone call to 1300 66 44 96 to register your apprentice
2. Complete the claim form/s we send you on completion of each year level
3. Return with your tax invoice and relevant evidence for payment directly into your bank account

It is even easier through a Group Training Company:

The Group Training Company makes the claims on your behalf, reducing your charge out rate over the term of the apprenticeship.
