Australian Apprenticeships Priority List (AAPL)
The Australian Apprenticeships Priority List (AAPL) identifies trade, community and personal services occupations identified as experiencing national skills shortage.
The AAPL is based on the Skills Priority List published by the National Skills Commission.
The AAPL is used to determine eligibility for employer and apprentice support under the Australian Apprenticeship Incentives System which will replace the Australian Apprenticeships Incentives Program on 1 July 2022.
For a list of occupations included on the AAPL view the Australian Apprenticeships Priority List Fact Sheet .
The AAPL is based on the Skills Priority List published by the National Skills Commission in June 2021. Stakeholder input to the Review of the National Skills Needs list was considered by the National Skills Commission in the development of the NSC’s Skills Priority List.
