No Program Fees
NITA traineeships have no program fees.
Payment of a rental bond is required for you living in the accommodation. You may elect to pay the bond in installments, in which case it will be deducted from your pay each fortnight for the first four full pay cycles. Please note that when paying rent, you will be able to salary sacrifice the cost – your rent will be deducted on a before-tax basis rather than after-tax, which results in a tax savings.
