This definition applies to YA and Austudy payments in respect to Australian apprentices (previously known as new apprentices).
The Commonwealth registration number is a number issued by DEEWR to all approved Australian apprentices.
To be paid as a full-time Australian apprentice under the YA and Austudy payments a person must have a current (and not suspended) Commonwealth registration number.
DEEWR is the party that can give definitive advice as to the currency or otherwise of a Commonwealth registration number.
