Careers and Pathways 

Tax File Number (TFN)

Any student will need at tax file number if they start 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 cannot enrol in a CSP (Commonwealth Support Place) course at university without a Tax File Number, so it is worthwhile getting an application submitted early! 

Students must apply for a TFN online and have their identity verified through an interview at a participating Australia Post office.
