Parents of Year 10, 11 and 12 Students

Do you have a family member undertaking studies at Year 11 or Year 12 who is intending to go on to Tertiary studies? Are you a current tertiary student?

We are the Youth Allowance experts having helped over 1000 students navigate the Centrelink maze of Youth Allowance.

Independent vs dependent, bachelor vs diploma, on campus vs off campus? The decisions continue.

With the taper mechanisms of our Tax and Centrelink systems, families can be losing as much as 84.5% of their taxable income. So planning is as important as choosing which course.

As parents, you may be able to enable your child some financial independence by planning for their tertiary education years.

We step you through the Youth Allowance process so that as a family you are maximising your potential through these very important years.

Centrelink Scholarships alone can be worth over $8.5k over a 3 year university course.

Simmons Centrelink Advisory Service is holding a free seminar at the MPAC The Hamilton and Alexandra College on Wednesday 25th October from 7-9pm.

Please indicate your intention to attend to lmanifold@hamiltoncollege.vic.edu.au
