Indigenous Cadetship Support is aimed at improving the job prospects of Indigenous Australian students.

It links full-time Indigenous students undertaking a diploma, an advanced diploma or their first undergraduate degree with employers who can give them work placements and ongoing employment once they finish their studies.

What is the role of a cadetship employer?

Cadetship employers:

  • provide paid work placements of 12 weeks for each year of the cadetship
  • support the cadet through their study and work placements, giving professional guidance and mentorship
  • employ cadets under an appropriate industrial instrument
  • intend offering ongoing employment to the cadet once they successfully complete their cadetship.
  • Financial assistance

Indigenous Cadetship Support provides employers up to $7050 per semester to support cadets with a living allowance and study-related costs and offset employer administration costs.
