Applications are now open for round 2 of the 2024–25 professional development subsidies.
The professional development subsidy helps qualified staff complete training.
The paid practicum subsidy helps early childhood teachers and educators in training complete their practicums.
We pay these subsidies to providers. Providers pass funding on to staff through training opportunities and paid leave.
Providers must apply on behalf of staff. If you work in the sector and think you’d benefit from these subsidies, please talk to your provider about applying.
Following high demand for the professional development subsidy in the last round, we will prioritise applications for:
- Educators in regional and remote areas
- First Nations educators.
Remaining applications will be funded in the order they are received until funding is exhausted.
Applications will close on 14 March 2025.
