Tax Help program

Tax Help

Tax Help is a network of community volunteers who provide a free and confidential service to help people complete their tax returns during tax time. Volunteers are fully trained, accredited and supported by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO).

Tax Help is suitable for people earning around $50,000 or less a year with fairly straightforward tax affairs. Volunteers operate from 1 July until 31 October in all capital cities and many regional areas across Australia from convenient locations in the community.
