Mission Australia Training Institute

The Mission Australia Training Institute (MATI) is a full-service training organisation that empowers people to gain skills and qualifications to find a job, or improve their current work circumstances. We are conveniently located in every state and territory, with access to training locations in over 350 sites across metropolitan and regional Australia.

With access to over 200 experienced and practical trainers and consultants, MATI delivers over 70 nationally recognised programs across many industry sectors. We work closely with private and public sector organisations, to develop focused and customised training programs to upgrade their staff and management capabilities.

Our industry based programs help participants earn nationally recognised qualifications across a range of careers, from aged care, employment and community services to the business services sector.

The Mission Australia Training Institute is also a leading provider of Language, Literacy and Numeracy programs across the country. Through these programs many students are finding pathways to new careers in manufacturing, mining and commerce.

In many remote and regional sites we are working with indigenous and disadvantaged communities, in partnership with major employers, to use these Language Literacy and Numeracy programs to bring people to a work ready status.

With a flexible and affordable approach to training, MATI can satisfy your training needs in a way that best suits you.

The Australian Apprenticeships Access Programme (AAAP)

The Australian Apprenticeships Access Programme (the Access Programme) provides job seekers who experience barriers to employment, with pre vocational training, support and assistance to obtain and maintain an Australian Apprenticeship. The priority of the Access Programme is to obtain Australian Apprenticeship outcomes.

Other outcomes are employment and further education or training.
The training provided through the Access Programme is nationally recognised under the Australian Quality Training Framework, is based on labour market needs, and is linked to an Australian Apprenticeship pathway.

Mission Australia's Access Programme helps eligible job seekers to become "job ready" by providing them with training in the basic skills required for the industry. This training will be of a minimum of 150 hours and will include nationally recognised training as well as other skills that employers value. These can include general work skills such as time management, organisational skills, communication skills and occupational health and safety.

The Access Programme offers individualised job search support for up to 13 weeks following the training to help the participant find a suitable Australian Apprenticeship. This will include assistance in finding a suitable position, writing a resume and preparing for an interview.
The programme also offers post placement support and mentoring for the first 13 weeks of employment to assist in ensuring the participant maintains this employment.

Employers wishing to find an Australian apprentice may be eligible for an Australian Government incentive for Access Programme participants placed in an Australian Apprenticeship.

Access Programme participants must be genuinely interested in participating in the Access Programme; be interested in obtaining an Australian Apprenticeship in the targeted industry/s; meet the specified eligibility criteria before participating in the Access Programme; and ensure Centrelink activity testing compliance requirements are satisfied, where applicable.

Mission Australia is contracted to the Department of Education, Science and Training to provide this programme across many areas of Queensland, New South Wales, ACT, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory
