Emergency Services Careers Session

A big thank you to Senior Constable Timothy Parker from Victoria Police , Kaylene Elliot and Ola Salako from Victoria State Emergency Service and Cameron Auber and Mike Smith from Ambulance Victoria .

TFN
A tax file number (TFN) is your personal reference number in the tax and superannuation systems. Your TFN is a unique number (usually 9 digits), an important part of your identity and yours for life – you keep your TFN even if you change jobs or name, move interstate or go overseas. Students commencing part-time work will need to have a TFN. To apply see: Australian residents - TFN application | Australian Taxation Office (ato.gov.au)
