Parents Return to Work Program – Victorian residents.

The Returning to Earning program is an initiative of the Victorian Government, administered by AMES. The program provides a grant of up to $1,000, to assist parents planning to return to work after an absence caring for dependent children. The Returning to Earning program extends and expands the highly successful Parents Returning to Work program and addresses two priorities of the Victorian Government: supporting people back into training and work, and broadening and deepening skills.

Studying a course under the program with Cengage Education, enables parents to improve their work-related skills and earning potential in their spare time, with no related childcare and traveling expenses potentially associated with attending a face-to-face training provider. Additionally, all learning materials, including textbooks, are included in the course fee.

For further information regarding available courses, eligibility and how to obtain a Parents Returning to Earning grant, contact one of our Course Advisors on 1300 853 033 or send us an email. You can also learn more about the program by visiting the Parents Returning to Earning website at www.parentsreturntowork.net.au .

Our trained course advisors can assist you to determine if you are eligible for this assistance.
