Tax Help Program is a free and confidential service to help people complete their tax returns. Tax Help sessions are provided by ATO-trained and accredited community volunteers.
If you earned under a certain amount in the tax year and meet some other criteria, you can book into a session.
To find out if you are eligible please visit the ATO Tax help page:
Sessions are held from late July – October each year.
Session times for the current tax period will be added to our Tax Help blog post in July each year:
