Free rego is a great incentive for apprentices to help with rising transport costs. Normailly costs up to $877. Stay safe, and enjoy :)

You are eligible if:

  • you are an apprentice registered with the VRQA, or a Victorian apprentice who is undertaking an apprenticeship in South Australia or New South Wales.
  • you are currently employed in an approved training scheme.
  • you are using your own car, ute or van for approved work purposes, or you regularly use it to get to or from work between 8:30 pm and 5:30 am. The vehicle cannot exceed 4.5 tonnes GVM.
  • you hold a current Victorian driver licence (not a learner permit).
  • you are a Victorian resident.
  • you've received your registration or renewal notice.

How to apply:

  • When your next rego renewal notice arrives, jump on the VicRoads website to apply for the discount. You will need your VRQA registration number, vehicle registration number, and driver licence number. VicRoads will check your details with your employer, so make sure your employer supports your application before you apply.

You can’t apply for this discount if:

  • you are a learner driver.
  • your licence is expired, cancelled or suspended.
  • your vehicle is registered in someone else’s name.
  • you have an apprenticeship discount already applied on another vehicle registered in your name.

Note: You may have another vehicle registered in your name with another concession type. (e.g. Health Care Card).

        Mate go on a apprentice wage for 4 years and then get back to me.

        A wage is better than what uni students get. $400k - $800k in lost earnings and expenses for a degree to make as much as a traffic controller.

        Waaaaah waaaah waaaah have a cry. Why does the taxpayer need to subsidise your life decisions? You get paid to study and get massive tax incentives. Is that not enough? Should the rest of us give you more money?

          😂😂 What tax insensitive?? You make on average $50k as an apprentice.. $42k after tax. You cant live off that unless your living at home and young without any dependant or debut.

          But hey, we have Aus study and i dont see you complaining about that.

          You're up in arms about free rego for 4yr but in the same breath would complain about the cost of housing because supply is not able to keep up with demand. This effects everyone but hey, why support the industry that would fix it.

          As i posted below..

          Average apprenticeship salary: 50K.. $42k after tax

          https://au.indeed.com/career/apprentice/salaries/Melbourne-V…

          Average rent cost in Melbourne: $550 a week.. ~$29k yr

          https://mozo.com.au/home-loans/articles/what-is-the-average-…

          Average grocery cost for single person a yr: $193 a week ~$10k yr in vic.

          Mind you i think thats very generous figure and i think it's higher.

          https://www.finder.com.au/budgeting/average-grocery-bill

          Income: $42k
          Costs: $39k.

          So that leaves you with $3k a yr to pay for petrol, your car, mobile, tools, clothing, footwear, medical, dental, gas, water, electricity and any personal stuff on top of that.

          • Jigram on 11/04/2024 - 11:15

            @vash5: The tax incentives of your entire life bring deductible.

            Aus study is means tested. If it wasn’t I’d be complaining about it too.

            We can fix the labour shortage by importing trades labour. But apparently your industry’s workers think they should be immune to the pressures of the rest of the world.

      • Jigram on 11/04/2024 - 12:01

        I don't think you understand what greenwashing means. Greenwashing is companies making meaningless or fake environment promises/investments to try and hide their true environmental impact.

        Genuine spending on climate change mitigation isn't 'greenwashing', whether you agree with it or not.

    I can't understand why apprentices should get anything free….they get paid to learn as opposed to uni students who need to pay to learn.
    Anyway tax payers forking out once again greta legacy the labour govt has left us

      Coming here to say the same thing… well.. except the second line. Have this argument with a relative all the time. He speaks of his low paid apprenticeship but i rebut with having to work somewhere else unrelated to my future career whilst accruing a hecs debt.

      • no not me on 10/10/2024 - 15:25

        Most students are enrolled on Common supported places (CSPs). IIRC, this equates to students accumulating approx. one third of the course cost as HECS debt. So for something like a Bachelor of Science at Melbourne University, the student pays $28K and the government forks out the other $56K.

        It makes me wonder if the higher education system wasn't so broken, would it be possible to provide the same level of education for the same amount of the government is already putting forward? Something tells me yes.

      This, the current cost of doing Melbourne Commerce followed by the Juris Doctor is $189k, MDs are so much more.

      Just another move for the ALP to keep its supporter base I guess

      Income: $42k

      So that leaves you with $1k a yr to pay for petrol, your car, mobile, tools, clothing, footwear, medical, dental and any personal stuff on top of that.

      Tell me how a grown ass adult is supposed to live off that in todays economy.. and those figures are average so you can bet its a very conservative estimate.

        Does the other $2k go to the accountant?

          My bad.. butter fingered it in the late hours of the morning.

          But yes you are correct its 3k but considering how much water, gas and electricity cost it wont go far and I didn't even add that in as a cost.

        Your calculations assume they are even renting which many won't be and that they are paying rent solely by themselves, again unlikely. Figures are way off. Most people had to do it hard when starting out. Why are tradies so special. Plenty of industries that need more people. Maybe labour shouldn't have sucked the bottom out of the industry by planning dozens of big builds at the same time, leaving the actual consumer trade market for dead.

          It's not tradies - It's apprentices.They get paid $12/Hr. Fair enough if they got paid minimum wage, but they don't

      Aren't uni students eligible for Aus study… You know, the government handout for doing nothing but studying a degree?

        Not if your parents are employed.

      • TheFreaK on 11/04/2024 - 12:06

        Do you mean the scheme that apprentices are also eligible for?

        • Binchicken22 on 11/04/2024 - 18:03

          Yeah, but I've never heard of an apprentice on Aus study, generally they don't meet the requirements.

    • Sammyboy on 11/04/2024 - 07:34

      Agreed. Should be free rego for all uni students too, to deal with the rising costs of living, uni courses/hecs!

        Major issue these days.. young people are not getting their drivers licence at the same rate these days. But sure, id be down for them getting cheaper or free rego if they didn't already receive as much support as they do.

    As an older tradesman… this is complete crap. These guys are PAID to learn on the job, sure the pay CAN be crap, but Uni students get paid $0. On top of that, todays youn apprentices think that owning a dual cab ute is some kind of birth right. Get an old Hyundai Excel and suck it up.

  • mirz on 12/04/2024 - 16:12

    Labor government and unions in same bed, what else do you expect?

    We already lost most of manufacturing in Australia, all thanks to brainless unions.

    Rob everyone else to feed unions and their members.

    Utter incompetence at its best.

    • no not me on 10/10/2024 - 10:53

      Not sure your theory on unions destroying Australia’s manufacturing industry warrants a negative vote.

    How about all the millions of essential workers that get nothing? Most need to travel to parts of the cities they couldn't hope to afford to live. Where is the help they get.

    Thanks labor for giving tradies these perks and special anti-immigration protections literally nobody else gets.

    This country has reduced to a one trick pony property market ponzi economy.
