The below are funding opportunities we have collated that may help provide financial relief to individuals and employers looking to undertake training. Please note that these forms of funding are not managed, supported or endorsed by Aveling. For more information including eligibility, please follow the links provided.
The recently launched Defence Industry Veterans Employment Scheme (DIVES) Scholarship Program is funded by the WA State Government and supported by industry.
This scholarship program helps veterans cover eligible costs relating to vocational education and training (VET) and university studies relevant to defence industry careers, including tuition and other compulsory fees; textbooks; and equipment. At least 80 scholarships of up to $5,000 are available to eligible veterans.
Eligible veterans will also be able to access career planning support through the DIVES program, to identify training or further study leading to defence career pathways.
There is no set list of eligible courses, however, any training must be in an area that would provide a pathway into possible employment in the Defence Industry.
For more information on this program, please see the Jobs and Skills website.
The training must be related to occupations in national shortage on the National Skills Commission’s Skills Priority List, which currently includes VET Educators.
To be eligible for the funding, individuals must have completed a Skills Checkpoint assessment that identified training linked to their current industry (e.g. upgrading skills), a future job opportunity, or an industry or occupation in demand.
You can find out more information about the Skills Checkpoint for Older Workers Program, including full eligibility and how to apply, on the Department of Education, Skills and Employment’s website, or by contacting your local Program Provider – in Western Australia, this is:

Please note that you may be able to obtain funding in relation to training that Aveling provides. However, we do not facilitate the program, nor can we advise you about your eligibility.
