Exemptions:

Exemption One: Arrived in Australia Less Than 6 Weeks Ago 

If you have arrived in Australia within the past six weeks, you can use your passport or visa along with a bank card or driver’s license from your home country. 

For example, you could bring a passport and a bank card from your country of origin, and that would fulfill the ID requirements. If you don’t have a passport, you could use your visa and a bank card from your home country.

Exemption Two: Still in High School 

If you are currently enrolled in high school, you can use your school ID as identification, if you have this, its all you need. If you don’t have a school ID, you can choose from the following options: driver’s license, birth certificate, passport, or citizenship certificate. Just one is enough but you also need to prove you are in school with this option as you didn’t use your school ID. This could be an email from the school, you logging into your school portal. You must show evidence to the trainer you are in school for this option to be used.

Exemption Three: Identify as Indigenous or Torres Strait Islander 

If you identify as Indigenous or Torres Strait Islander and do not have enough ID to meet the 100 points requirement, you can present two official references from relevant agencies. 

For further information on this exemption, please contact us via email at admin@nwcc.edu.au or by phone at 1300 988 181.
