Centrelink Advice

If you're facing financial troubles, Student Assist may have the advice you need. Student Assist provides an information, advocacy and referral service for Guild members on welfare and Centrelink issues. If you don't agree with a bill you have received or any other Cenrelink decision made about you, make an appointment with Student Assist.

Budgeting Advice

It is important to learn how to manage your money wisely, particularly if you are planning to move out of home for the first time. If your money matters are feeling a little complicated, our Student Assist Officers can offer supportive financial help and budgeting advice, as well as a comprehensive referral service (most of which are free to those on a low income).
