Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton encourages school leavers in the Parkes electorate to pick up his free guide to assist with life after school.
Mr Coulton said the 2024 School Leavers’ Guide contains information about further education and training opportunities, financial assistance available, finding employment, and mental health support services, as well as important advice about obtaining a Medicare card, applying for a Tax File Number and enrolling to vote.
“Completing school is an exciting time for young adults who have lots to look forward to,” Mr Coulton said.
“However, it can be daunting entering ‘the real world’ after years of schooling.
“There’s a lot to think about when deciding what to do after school. There are so many opportunities and many different pathways to get there.
“That’s why it’s important to explore all your options and have up-to-date information to ensure you make the best choice for you.
“This School Leavers’ Guide is a great resource for all graduating students, providing relevant information that can help set them up for the future.”
Mr Coulton will be sending a copy of the 2024 School Leavers’ Guide to all high schools in the Parkes electorate to pass onto their students.
There will also be hard copies available for students or parents to pick up from each of his electorate offices – in Dubbo, Moree and Broken Hill.
“If you require any further assistance, or would like a copy sent to you, please contact one of my offices and my staff can arrange postage,” Mr Coulton said.
“It’s also important to remember to enrol to vote if you haven’t already. Please contact one of my offices and we can send you an enrolment form.
“All the best to every graduating student in the Parkes electorate on this next exciting chapter.”
