If you are currently receiving Austudy, Abstudy or Youth Allowance payments from Centrelink, you may continue to receive these if you have a current UWA enrolment and are considered to be studying full time while abroad. Current enrolment refers to enrolment into units that are considered full-time for that teaching period.

 

The Global Learning Office can provide you with a standard letter to submit to Centrelink to inform them about your participation in your Global Learning Program. Once you have received your official acceptance from your host university or you have an active enrolment for that teaching period, a letter can be requested through your Global Studio Applicant Portal.

 

To continue receiving your Centrelink payments while overseas, please ensure you submit this letter to Centrelink, otherwise payments may be stopped. Any questions about Centrelink payments should be directed to Centrelink.
