ADMS and Claiming Apprentice Support Payments

From 1 January 2023, eligible apprentices will need to claim through the Apprenticeship Data Management System (ADMS).

ADMS is a modern, reliable and secure platform supporting the delivery of the Australian Apprenticeship programs. The system supports the Australian Apprenticeship Incentive system and was implemented in April 2022.

The system is used by Network Providers, State Training Authorities, Government Stakeholders, Employers and Apprentices where the individual logon experience is through the application of their myGovID digital identity.

ADMS is utilised for the management of Training Contract creation and data, Employer and Apprentice Profiles, assessing eligibility of incentives, reporting and claim generation.
