Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people aged 16 to 24 from remote areas relocate to a new location (selected locations are stated within the program guidelines) to undertake further education and training opportunities.
These opportunities could include an Australian Apprenticeship, or study (vocational education and training or university study) towards professional qualifications in many areas, including nursing, teaching, business administration and accounting.
Young people are eligible for the IYMP if they:
