SMS reminders for employers
Our SMS reminder service helps you keep track of your obligations when managing your apprentice or trainee.
You'll receive SMS messages at key milestones throughout the apprenticeship or traineeship. It won't replace any emails or letters you already receive from us.
You'll receive SMS reminders only if you have a small business (19 or fewer employees) and an active training contract for an apprentice or trainee.
You can choose to opt-out of the SMS reminder service at any time by replying 'STOP' to any SMS reminder.
To verify a SMS reminder is legitimate, check:
- it ends with 'QGOV Training Qld'
- any link is from a Queensland Government web address, such as www.business.qld.gov.au.
We will never ask for identifying information including bank details or date of birth. If you believe an SMS doesn't look right, or you have concerns, contact us on 1800 210 210 for more information.
