Setting up your finances correctly is an essential part of settling into life in Australia. At SwifftConsult, we provide reliable Banking and Tax Assistance to help international students and new arrivals manage their money confidently and comply with Australian regulations.
Banking Assistance
Opening an Australian bank account is one of the first things you’ll need to do upon arrival — and in some cases, even before you travel. We guide you through the process of selecting and setting up a student-friendly account with leading Australian banks such as Commonwealth Bank, ANZ, NAB, and Westpac.
Our banking support includes:
- Guidance on choosing the right bank and account type (transaction vs. savings)
- Assistance with online account opening before arrival (where eligible)
- Help with required documentation: passport, visa, proof of enrolment, and address
- Advice on banking services such as debit cards, mobile apps, and international transfers
- Tips on avoiding hidden fees and understanding account conditions
Tax Assistance
If you plan to work part-time during your studies or apply for internships, you’ll need a Tax File Number (TFN) — essential for working legally and paying the correct amount of tax in Australia.
Our tax support services include:
- Help applying for your Tax File Number (TFN) through the Australian Taxation Office (ATO)
- Lodging your annual tax return and claim refunds
- Information on your tax obligations as a student or graduate worker
- Advice on understanding payslips, superannuation (retirement fund), and employer contributions
We ensure you’re equipped with the financial knowledge and tools to manage your income, avoid unnecessary costs, and stay compliant with tax regulations.
With our Banking and Tax Assistance, you can focus on your studies and life in Australia — knowing your finances are in safe hands.
