Australian Apprenticeship Support Loans (AASL)

Australian apprentices could be eligible for an Australian Apprenticeship Support Loan.

An Australian Apprenticeship Support Loan (AASL) (formerly Trade Support Loan) is an interest-free loan from the Australian Government for eligible Australian apprentices.

For eligibility criteria, repayment figures and how to apply for an AASL, visit Australian Apprenticeships and Department of Employment and Workplace Relations.

This information is not financial advice. We strongly advise all students wishing to apply for an AASL to seek independent financial advice.

Contact Melbourne Polytechnic’s Trade and Traineeship Support Unit (TSU)

For more information and support on navigating your apprenticeship, we have dedicated support staff.
