Scholarships are awarded to many different kinds of students for a range of purposes. They aren’t just considered based on your academic performance. Perhaps you contribute to the community through sport or music. Maybe you’re from a remote town or have financial difficulties.

Visit our Scholarships Page to find out what’s available and whether you may be eligible.

The University of Newcastle Legal Centre (UNLC) is the centerpiece of the Newcastle Law School’s clinical program. UNLC offers a range of services to the public, including free legal advice and assistance, representation, law clinics and community education seminars. All of the services are overseen by our in-house lawyers and delivered together with law students.

Advice and assistance are provided to clients of the University of Newcastle Tax Clinic by students from the Business School and Law School, under the supervision of experienced tax practitioners and academic staff.

The Tax Clinic is reserved for those that have experienced financial hardship, have a low income and cannot afford to appoint a tax agent to represent them in their tax affairs. Your eligibility will be established at your first appointment.

To request an appointment, contact the clinic:

• Email: taxclinic@newcastle.edu.au
