Insurance/Tax number...? (1 Viewer)

[allyuk]

Hi,

I have heard that to work you need a certain number? And I'm completely lost. I apologise for sounding completely clueless but what are the exact things you need to get a job, apart from a bank account number?

Lol.

It's called a tax file number that you have get from the taxtation office and after applying for it, it'll get sent to you after about 6ish weeks.

You need a couple of points of ID to get it, and then when its sent to you and you have a job, you get a Tax File Number declaration form that you hand into your employer.

This number will stay with you for your whole life, it doesn't change. It works sorta like your Board of Studies number when you do the School Cert. and HSC. You're basically just a number on the Governments list.

Hope that helps : )

Haha no worries : ) I'm not sure where the closest taxation office to you would be, but either Google it or ask your parents or something. I know there's one in Chatswood if thats any close to you... haha

Yeah pretty much wat Christina said but also, if ur still in school u can do it though ur career adviser. Doing it through ur career adivser makes it easier because he/she pretty much does it for u all u have to to is fill it out and they will send it in 4 u.

I think there's a Chatswood near here but I'm in Kent lol ..

I'm heading out to Brisbane in May then heading down to Sydney to work. That's why I wasn't too sure about which numbers I needed..I've contacted the Australian embassy in London, and they're going to send me one now so it's all good.

But yeah thank you! and if I get a bit confused again I'll know where to come

hey allyuk - you just need to go to any newsagency, fill out the form called "Tax File Application Form" (don't confuse this with the "Tax File Declaration Form" - you dont need that one just yet), fill that one out and send it in to the Australian Tax Office.

You will get a nine digit number delivered to the address you elect. good luck!
