Careers News

Dear Parents and Carers, Students and wider SPX community. 

This is my final Careers Newsletter. After 8 years in the role as SPX Careers Advisor, the time has come for me to continue with other responsibilities in 2021. It has been a privilege working with students and exploring the exciting possibilities for their futures. It has been a pleasure facilitating information from Universities, TAFE, ADF and various industries over this time. Thank you to everyone who has supported me as Careers Advisor, it has been wonderful working in this most important role. Mr Joseph Madani will be taking over as Careers Advisor in 2021 and I wish him all the very best for the future. Ms Donna Janes

Are you going to Uni in 2021? You’ll need a USI

If you’re going to university in 2021, it is now compulsory for you to have a Unique Student Identifier (USI).

You must have a USI to be eligible for Commonwealth assistance when studying, such as access to Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) and a HELP loan.

If you have done any VET or TAFE study in the past, you may already have a USI. If not, it’s completely free to create one, and it stays with you for life.

Find out more about the change and how you can apply for a USI here: https://www.usi.gov.au/higher-education
