We help people advance
their careers
Learn First Australia connects everyday Australians with nationally recognised training - and helps them explore government funding options that, for eligible students, can cover some or all of the cost.
Make career-changing training accessible to everyone
Too many people never start a course because they don't know what's out there, whether they'd qualify, or what it would cost. We exist to remove that barrier - matching each person with the right accredited provider and helping them explore government funding options that can cover most or all of the cost for eligible students.
A simpler way into nationally
recognised training
We match you
Answer a few questions and we find the best-fit course for your goal, from accredited providers.
Accredited only
We only work with registered training organisations delivering nationally recognised qualifications.
We check your funding
We assess the government-subsidised places you may be eligible for before you enrol.
Free to use
Our matching service costs you nothing. We're paid by providers, and it never changes what you pay.
The right course can
change everything
A nationally recognised qualification can be the difference between staying put and stepping up - a new job, a promotion, a trade, or a fresh start. Government funding exists to make that possible, but it's scattered across different programs, providers and eligibility rules.
We bring it together in one place, do the legwork, and make sure you know exactly where you stand before you commit to anything.
How we work
Honest and clear
No hype and no pressure. We tell you plainly what a course involves, what funding applies, and what (if anything) you'll pay.
People first
We're here to help you make a good decision - even if that means the answer is "not right now." Your details are never sold.
Quality providers
We only connect you with accredited RTOs delivering nationally recognised qualifications you can rely on.
