Non-urban benefits are available at locations marked with an asterisk (*) in the table below.

Depending on location, additional benefits can be:

  • Locality allowance – up to $8,684 per annum
  • Housing affordability allowance – up to $24,440 per annum.

There is also potential for permanent employment to be available in some locations after 2 years of the apprenticeship. This will be subject to satisfactory training and performance expectations being met and commitment to a minimum 2-year period of placement in the location upon being qualified.

Apprenticeship types & locations

We offer apprenticeships for Electricians, Communications Technicians, Distribution Linespersons, Transmission Linespersons, Underground Cable Jointer and Mechanical Trades (Fitting). Learn more about these on our Trade types web page. Not all trade types will be offered in every apprentice intake.

Apprentices work in depots in locations throughout regional Queensland. Even though you may start your apprenticeship in one location, it's likely that you may spend time in other parts of Queensland during your apprenticeship to experience a range of task environments. You may also attend a block of training in regional centres and/or Brisbane. If you become an apprentice, you may need to live away from your home base at times.
