Megg, there will be a student support unit of some kind at the TAFE, who help out with student welfare, counselling etc. They will be the ones who know about any schemes or scholarships on offer at that particular TAFE. There are usually eligibility criteria but since TAFE is all about eligibility and access there may well be some help that you qualify for.

If you are on a low income you might be able to get a low income health care card. Then maybe the TAFE will take it into consideration. I can't see having BC makes it any different.

Sorry that was a bit derr of me :D, I did mean financial help, I'm not on any benefits at the moment, I want to enrol in an Allied health Assistance course, and of course having had time off last year and being casual my finances aren't great so enrolling for one semester will wipe my savings out completely, I'm only working 23-25 hours a week but it's just enough to keep me off newstart I think :(

I know a little about the funding also so PM me with what you really want to know and i'll try to help you. These days if you already have a degree they hit you hard for a TAFE course UNLESS you have a health care card or like you can enrol in a certificate course. There are many variations so you need to talk to course provider.

I think there is if you are on a Centrelink benefit. I'm assuming you mean financial help.

You may qualify for some help to gain employment after cancer but you would have to make enquiries, possibly through Centrelink. I have no real idea but certainly worth enquiring.
