Home & Community Care Traineeships

Who

Health Training Australia is a not-for-profit Group Training Organisation, sponsored by the Australian Medical Association.

Why

You can employ a trainee without any of the hassles and receive up to $250.00 in Incentives.

How

Trainees are recruited and employed by HTA and placed with you, the 'host employer' for the duration of the traineeship. The trainee can work part-time (minimum 20 hrs/ week) or full-time (35+ hrs/ week).

HTA organise and complete all the paperwork for you, including:

• Recruitment
• Superannuation
• Tax
• Workers Compensation Insurance

Benefits to You

Host Employers will benefit from:

• Saving time and money being freed of all administration and payroll associated with employing staff
• Gain a skilled and motivated employee trained specifically to the needs of your business
• On-going support from HTA Consultants throughout the traineeship
• No binding contracts - If you no longer need your trainee you can hand them back
• Training is delivered through off-the-job training by a Registered Training Organisation; off-the-job training is usually on a one day per week basis

Charge Out Rates

The charge out rate for Home Care trainees are based on cost recovery and include all Annual Leave Entitlements, Workers Compensation Insurance and Superannuation.

Sample Scenario

A trainee is paid at $13.47 per hour and works 20 hours per week. The charge to the host employer is:

($13.47 + $4.50) x 20 hrs = $377.40
+ 10% GST = $415.14

Health Training Australia direct debit the host employer fortnightly. The trainee's wages go directly into their bank account each fortnight.

Note: The 10% GST may be claimed back from the Australian Taxation Office.
