Accessing your wage subsidies

When you hire a job seeker with breakthru, our friendly consultants will help guide you through the eligibility process to determine if you can access one of our wage subsidies.

Depending on your business and the hours offered in the position, you could be eligible to access up to $10,000 in subsidized fees, including a $4,000 “kick-start” payment after the first 4 weeks of employment.

Eligibility criteria

When you engage breakthru as your Disability Employment Services provider of choice, our friendly employment consultants will help assess your eligibility for one of three key wage subsidies.

Your business is eligible for one of our wage subsidies if it:

• Has an Australian Business Number (ABN)
• Has not previously received a wage subsidy for the same job
• Has not recently retrenched or reduced the number of workers, or be proposing to do so.
• Is not of a type of character that would bring the wage subsidy or the Commonwealth Government into disrepute
• Is not receiving another Government wage subsidy for the same worker or position.
