If you are having a hard time financially we have professional staff who can provide you with financial advice and assistance with study and living costs.
Centrelink offers a range of payments and services while you're studying or training.
Student Welfare can assist you with Centrelink claims, eligibility, completing applications and liaison.
You may be eligible for:
A Health Care Card if you are a low income earner.
We offer you a range of online and face-to-face employment and career services, as well as career fairs where you can meet graduate employers.
Being a student can limit your ability to earn substantial amounts of money and as a result you may need to live on a tight budget. Our budget sheet template can help you keep a track of your income and expenses and take control of your money.
Student Welfare provide you with a range of tips and advice on money management, how to save money, debt management and inform you of your rights in money and debt matters.
If you need financial support to pay for your course, we offer a range of scholarships across all fields of study. You can apply for scholarships that match your area of study and industry sector.
Grants for non-school leavers are also available. If you are a parent or carer returning to study you may be eligible for the Returning to Earning grant which can help with costs for course fees, books, materials and childcare fees.
If you need help at tax time you can contact us for free tax return services.
We organise trained volunteers from the Australian Tax Office to provide you with assistance directly to fill out your tax return.
