The National Workforce Development Fund is part of the Australian Government’s

Building Australia’s Future Workforce package.

Through the Fund the Australian Government will provide $558 million over four years to industry to support training and workforce development in areas of current and future skills need. The Fund will deliver around 130,000 high quality training places. The fund is currently focused on high need industries and critical occupations. The Industries under EE-Oz Training Standards coverage are included in this classification; with the resources, construction and renewable energy sectors identified as immediate priorities.

Under the Fund, enterprises can identify their current and future business and workforce development needs and apply for funding to support the training of existing workers and new workers in the area of need.

The Fund will also seek to address the diverse skills needs of regional Australia by ensuring funding is directed at supporting regional employers, workers, apprentices and job seekers in areas of skills needs.

The training will require co‑investment from industry, recognising the shared responsibility for training between the Government and industry. 

Grants will be provided through a competitive process.
