Finding Requirement





For any job, you should be eligible for minimum criteria. For an individual to be recognized as a professional you need licences provided by Australia some popular examples could be: RSA (Responsible Service of Alcohol) for working in a bar or restaurant environment whereas you need a White card for construction for any such purpose.

• TFN

• POLICE CHECK

A tax file number (TFN) is your personal reference number in the tax, where any earning you do in Australia will be recorded under this number and you will be taxed accordingly. Any earning you do use your TFN is your legal earning any other form of earning which is not recorded is illegal.

But let me warn you, you must be honest with details, or you might get in trouble with ATO and that is the last thing you want to do being a student. Now back to TFN. You might get only one TFN as per the submitted proof document. You can apply through the various website but some of them can cost you money, but TFN is totally free, so you do need to apply from the official ATO link:
