Training Support
Training Support is a payment which helps disabled people or people with ill health attend training or other activities that make it easier for them to get work or stay in work.
What it can be used for
Training Support grants and subsidies help meet extra costs such as:
- workplace modifications
- job coaching
- mentoring
- physical support including on the job physiotherapy or attendant care
- special equipment needed because of the person's disability or ill health
- additional costs of transport or parking.
It doesn't include any cost the employer has to legally provide.
Who can get it
You may get Training Support if you:
- have a disability or suffer from ill health that is likely to last for more than six months
- are a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident.
You should also normally live in New Zealand and intend to stay here.
You can't get Training Support if you are getting weekly compensation under the Injury Prevention, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2001.
