Supporting the Industry

AAMI's sponsorships in this segment include:

AAMI Apprentice Subsidy Scheme

AAMI works closely with the motor repair industry to support aspiring young smash repairers. In 2008, AAMI's Apprentice Subsidy Scheme assisted 279 Australian apprentices in their training to become qualified panel beaters. Each four-year subsidy is valued at $12,000 which is paid to motor repairers to cover the costs of employing and training apprentices. AAMI contributed $837,000 to the scheme last year.
