The National Code of Good Practice for Australian Apprenticeships is designed to assist employers, apprentices and trainees understand each other's roles and responsibilities within an apprenticeship or traineeship.
The National Code is provided to all employers, apprentices and trainees by their Apprentice Connect Australia Provider when they sign up to an apprenticeship or traineeship.
The National Code can also be found on the Australian Apprenticeships website.
We are seeking to refresh the National Code to ensure understanding of roles and responsibilities is clear, and to support a quality apprenticeship and traineeship experience.
We are also seeking advice on the kinds of guidance and resources that help employers, apprentices and trainees work well together. Successful working relationships between employers and apprentices are critical to supporting better retention and stronger completion outcomes, as well as creating safe and inclusive workplaces.
You are invited to answer this survey, which should take less than 15 minutes to complete.
