C2001-51 Allowances Paid to Cadets

Detailed Outline

The Office of the Director of Equal Opportunity in Public Employment and the New South Wales Premiers Department have developed an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cadetship Program for the New South Wales Public Sector. The cadetship program is a partnership with the Federal Government who are providing funding assistance. Premiers Department Circular 2001- 48 Cadetships for Aboriginal People and Torres Strait Islanders refers.

The Public Employment Office has therefore reviewed the allowances paid to Cadets and has determined new rates for the Vacation (Practical Training) Allowance and Term Rates of Allowance. The new rates are effective from the beginning of the 2001 academic year.

The Crown Employees (Public Service Conditions of Employment 1997) Award should apply to Cadets.

The allowances are payable to students who are selected by New South Wales public service organisations to receive cadetships while completing a full time course at university or other approved courses under established Cadetship projects. The public service organisation is expected to support a person in a course of study and the Cadet is expected to work for the organisation during the long vacation period and other times as negotiated. Public Service organisations should endeavour to provide opportunities for permanent employment for the cadet on the successful completion of the Cadetship.

Vacation (Practical Training) Rates
Pro rata payments should be made to the Cadet for periods of work with the organisation.
