Sole Parent Support

Before approving Training Incentive Allowance, consider whether the course or study will:

• increase the client's skills for employment and
• improve employment outcomes in the future

Sole Parent Support clients have part-time work obligations or work preparation obligations depending on the age of their youngest child.

Clients can get Sole Parent Support and undertake study or training as long as either they:

• can meet their work or work preparation obligations at the same time or
• are eligible for an exemption from their work obligations to complete study or training

Note study for which Training Incentive Allowance is payable can be considered a work preparation activity.

Each application for Training Incentive Allowance must be considered on its own merits.
