Benefit financially by training your staff

The Australian Government is investing in the development of the nation’s skills base. Significant financial incentives have been introduced to encourage employers to upskill their workforce.

LabTech Training (LTT) offers workplace training to suit all employers with laboratory staff. The nationally recognised qualifications from the Laboratory Operations Training Package (PML04) are delivered in your workplace, through a program that suits your business needs. Funded through the Australian Apprenticeships scheme, the program attracts financial incentives for employers.

"The package of incentives being offered by Federal and State Governments means that there has never been a better time to invest in nationally recognised training for your workforce."

As an additional benefit for organisations upskilling their workforce, the Western Australian Government is offering payroll tax exemptions and Workers’ Compensation premium rebates to employers.
