When you think of taxes, neighbourhood centres may not immediately come to mind. However, the Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre has assisted community members with their tax responsibilities for over 20 years.
We have been doing this in partnership with the ATO and the Tax Help Program. When we could not source a volunteer for this program, we explored other options. Fortunately, we discovered the JCU Tax Clinic and have been collaborating with them for the past four years to offer free help and assistance to the community.
"The JCU Tax Clinic offers support and assistance from JCU taxation students supervised by experienced tax practitioners to individuals, small businesses, and non-profit organisations with their tax affairs."
We are looking forward to being able to collaborate with the JCU Tax Clinic team again this year. If you would like more information about how to access their help – please give us a call at the Centre on
47 83 4243.
At the Neighbourhood Centre, we aim to encourage study in various sectors at a local level and help to provide placement opportunities for local students.
We have enjoyed having students from Social Work, Guidance and Counselling, Mental Health, Education and, of course, indirectly, the students from the JCU Tax Clinic.
Our higher goal is to have future local place-based workers from our community – working with our community. We also provide a space and supervision for local external students to conduct exams, if required.
We aim to enable local community members to achieve their educational goals without being disadvantaged by their location.
“It takes a village to raise a child” and a community to provide the opportunities!
Until next time,
The Team
Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre
