WorkCover Queensland are supporting the Queensland Government’s plan to encourage business to hire more apprentices, by offering employers a discount on their premium if they employ apprentices.
From 1 July 2017 we are implementing an ‘apprentice discount’ which will offer savings to employers who employ apprentices by removing apprentice wages from their premium calculation. Wages are a major factor in an employer’s premium calculation, so removing wages via the apprentice discount will result in a cheaper premium.
If an employer is not yet hiring apprentices but considering doing so in the near future, this discount will mean the employer’s premium will not increase as a result of hiring an apprentice.
