The Guild Education & Welfare Officer provides information about student payments including eligibility, study load requirements, independence test, income and assets test, payment rates, and additional benefits. The fastest way to claim Austudy or Youth Allowance is to register for online services at www.centrelink.gov.au. If your circumstances change, remember to keep Centrelink in the loop or you could accumulate a Centrelink debt. For more information, contact Youth and Student Services 13 24 90 or Curtin Student Service Centre 9464 4487.
