UniSA Celebrates NAIDOC Week

NAIDOC Week celebrations are held across Australia each July to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples. This year, NAIDOC Week will be held on Sunday 4 July until Sunday 11 July, and there will be a variety of events happening both in person and virtually. This year’s theme ‘Heal Country’
calls for all Australians to seek greater protections of our lands, waters, sacred sites and cultural heritage from exploitation and destruction.
Wirringka Student Services and the Aboriginal Student Club are currently developing a schedule of events throughout NAIDOC Week. We encourage you to visit the Facebook page to stay up to date with the schedule of events. |

Tax deductions available for university students
|
|
There are a range of tax deductions for uni students working full-time if you meet certain criteria. To claim any kind of tax deduction, you must have earned an income in Australia and declared it to the ATO.
To claim your self-education expenses, you must show that the course you are undertaking:
1. Directly relates to the job you already have.
2. Allows you to maintain or improve the knowledge/skills that you require in your current job.
3. Can lead to an increase in income within your current employment.
If you are employed as a trainee and the self-education course is part of your traineeship, you will also be entitled to claim your self-education expenses.
Please
note that the ATO won’t allow tax deductions for expenses you incur for undertaking a course if it’s not directly linked to your current employment. Find out if you’re eligible and what you may be able to claim from the Australian Taxation Office below. |
