Funding & Training Support

Training funding in Australia, starting with what's available for Tasmanian businesses.

Construction Training Funding in Tasmania

Eligible Tasmanian building and construction businesses may be able to access financial assistance towards approved industry training through Keystone Tasmania.

Keystone supports workforce development and training in Tasmania's building and construction industry. Keystone is not a training provider – it helps fund approved training delivered by providers.

Funding program

Keystone Training Rebate

Who may be eligible

Employing businesses, sole traders and eligible host employers whose principal activity is on-site building and construction work, who hold an ABN and organise and pay for their workers' training.

Training potentially supported

Keystone's approved list includes civil construction areas (earthworks, excavation, roadworks, large plant, traffic management), high risk work, and workplace safety such as heights, confined space and first aid. The rebate is a percentage of the course fee.

How to apply

Create a Keystone account and submit an application before the training starts (no later than the day before).

Funding conditions

Caps and conditions apply, and training already subsidised by another source may be ineligible. Approval is decided by Keystone and is not guaranteed.
