Accessing training

Find instructions on how to access a particular course in the following individual course descriptions.

Cost

In general, most workshops promoted on the calendar cost $38.50 (GST inclusive) per participant. In some instances, this fee may be higher subject to the type of course on offer.

Dedicated training events implemented to support new initiatives generally do not attract a fee for participants.

Reimbursement of training costs

To ensure rural based workers can access training in metropolitan areas, the department provides reimbursement for travel, accommodation and meals. Conditions apply and reimbursements are limited to workers employed in nominated department funded programs. In some circumstances, prior approval is required.

We require a tax invoice made payable to the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing to process these reimbursements. The new claim form can be used for this purpose, but must include agency ABN and an invoice number.

Agencies will need to complete the relevant claim forms when making claims.
