From 1 January 2024, WLN Employer-led provision is funded up to a maximum of $103.23 per hour (GST exclusive) of face-to-face literacy, numeracy, or literacy and numeracy, tuition. This includes a 5% increase to the provision.
Each hour of provision not attended by the learner is not to be reported and is not funded.
The average funding per hour of tuition in programmes is usually significantly below the maximum level. This is because programmes exhibit some or all of the below characteristics, which reduce the costs of provision:
repeat programmes (minimal start-up costs)
a single site of delivery
concentrated geographically
large scale, and/or
derived from existing programmes.
We advise that applicants submitting an application take these factors into account when deciding what rate of funding to request. If the requested funding rate is deemed in excess of the reasonable costs of the proposed programme, an applicant may be granted a lower rate of funding.
