Support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Students

TAFE SA’s Aboriginal Access Centre (AAC) delivers an innovative range of programs to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students across South Australia, including regional and remote locations.

The centre can also assist with enrolments into a wide range of other programs in TAFE SA.

Training support officers are available for students to offer support with individual learning plans to map pathways to higher education or employment. A training support officer will also work closely with lecturers to ensure you have the support you need.

Please note: the word ‘Aboriginal’ throughout this website refers to all people of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent.

The Aboriginal Tutorial Assistance Scheme (ATAS)

Free tutoring assistance is available by ATAS to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students who are enrolled in TAFE SA courses or training programs at certificate III level qualifications or higher.

Eligible full-time students have access to up to 2 hours tutoring per week, for up to 34 weeks.

To apply for a tutor, print and fill out this application form and return it to the Aboriginal Access Centre, Regency Campus, 137 Days Rd, Regency Park SA 5010.

If you’re interested in helping Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students by becoming a tutor, please complete and return the tutor registration form.

Fee Help

You may be eligible for financial assistance for a portion of your TAFE SA course fees through the Aboriginal Access Centre's Equity Grants.  Contact your local training support officer for more information.
