Tax File Numbers
Any student will need a tax file number if he/she starts work (part- time and full-time) and all students planning on a tertiary education require one when they start.
Importantly, current Year 12 students are reminded that they will be requested to provide their Tax File Number (TFN) on enrolment to TAFE or university next year, so it is worthwhile getting an application submitted early!
Students must now apply for a TFN online and have their identity verified through an interview at a participating Australia Post office.
To apply and also to find out about participating Post Offices, visit Apply for a TFN.
AATIS
The Australian Apprenticeships and Traineeships Information Service (AATIS) offers pathways information to students, job hunters, career advisers and employers.
The website, app and resources are used by schools, parents, friends, and supporters providing career planning and direction. AATIS is free to use and is funded by the Australian Government Department of Education, Skills and Employment.
The Australian Apprenticeships Pathways website - AAPathways - is a hub providing in-depth information about Australian apprenticeships and traineeships, including over 2,000 sample job and training descriptions, steps on how to find an apprenticeship, industry-based job pathways charts and practice literacy and numeracy quizzes.
Students are encouraged to browse both the AAPathways website, as well as the AATIS website.
