What is the National Tax Clinic program
The National Tax Clinic programExternal Link is a government-funded initiative that supports eligible individuals and small businesses who are:
- unable to access tax advice and assistance in managing their tax affairs due to economic, social or personal factors
- not represented by a tax professional.
Students studying tax-related courses provide free tax advice and support under the supervision of qualified clinic managers, tax and legal professionals. Your session may be conducted via phone or web conferencing, or face-to-face in some locations.
We support the program, but the tax clinics operate independently through various university campuses located in every Australian state and territory.
