Since January 1st more than 260 eligible Victorian apprentices have taken up the opportunity to receive a 50 per cent discount on their vehicle’s registration fee and Transport Accident Charge. Acting Premier James Merlino explained that this means that an apprentice paying standard registration on a light vehicle in metropolitan Melbourne can now save $385.70 per year and apprentices in regional Victoria, including Bendigo and Ballarat can save $330.20. Merlino added that Applicants are encouraged to apply for the discount as soon as they receive their registration renewal notice.
“We’re supporting our next generation of young apprentice tradies to develop their skills and build what our state needs for the future.” Mr. Merlino commented “This extra financial support will put more money back into the wallets of thousands of trade apprentices working across Victoria.”
