Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme

The Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme (ITAS) is available to all eligible undergraduate and postgraduate coursework students who identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander on a case-by-case basis. Tutoring is available throughout your degree.

ITAS sessions are free and tailored to your needs. Each session can go for up to 2 hours per week for each subject you are enrolled in. Students are expected to self‑direct learning with their tutor. ITAS can help you stay on top of your study load and improve your grades
