There are things you need to do to manage your allowance.
You need to:
- report the income you’ve earned every 2 weeks even if it’s $0, if you’re an apprentice
- report how much you’ve earned every 2 weeks, if you’re a student earning income
- tell us about any changes to your circumstances
- complete an online review of your study details when we ask
- tell us if you’re going overseas
- get your parents or guardians to update their income details each year, if you’re dependent.
If eligible, you can choose the residential costs option to help pay your residential costs when living away from home.
