The waiver, which will take effect on July 1 this year, will save about A $2000 per course.
In May, Victoria`s government budget for fiscal year 2018 / 19 offered tens of thousands of free TAFE courses to tens of thousands of students.
Government, the new state, has announced a similar policy, according to ABC: about A $2000 in savings per course for about 100, 000 apprentices to waive some of the TAFE fees.
According to New State Deputy Governor Barilaro (John Barilaro), A $285 million of next year`s state budget will be used to subsidize TAFE tuition fees, and courses to be waived are not limited to specific industries.
"whether you want to be a carpenter, a pastry maker or a hairdresser," he said, "as long as you are a new state apprentice, you will be eligible for a waiver."
The new state currently has about 80,000 apprentices in an effort to address the shortage of skilled workers.
In the next five years, there will be a shortage of 75000 people in the hotel industry alone, and the healthcare and construction industries face a huge shortage of people.
The policy, which will take effect from July 1, will apply only to new students who are about to enroll or who are studying but decide to change courses.
