A BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR YOUNG AUSTRALIANS

Who We Support

​A Start in Life assists Australian students who are committed to advancing and broadening their educational and future horizons, yet are limited by the financial barriers they face.

​

Our assistance extends to primary, secondary and tertiary students who need additional assistance to help them reach their full potential.

​

We work closely with the families of our primary and secondary students to establish where assistance is required and help overcome educational barriers. These families face financial hardship and are often further constrained by caring responsibilities, either as sole carer for their children or grandchildren, or as carer to other family members. 

​

Tertiary students apply as independents and we work directly with these students to help ensure they can complete their studies and cover the financial costs associated with their chosen course. These students may come from families that have limited capacity to support the additional expenses of tertiary studies. Often, they have had to relocate to a new city or town to pursue their desired course of study. 

​

Students and families are most commonly referred to A Start in Life by their school or educational institution. However, self-referrals from students and families seeking help are also encouraged.
