Yalga-binbi Institute for Community Development

Travel

Travel to Yalga-binbi for out-of-town Indigenous students will be booked by ABSTUDY.
The number for ABSTUDY travel is 13 2317.  Students must ring this number to book their travel, and do so 3 weeks before the start of each workshop.

ABSTUDY will approve only a limited number of travel bookings and accommodation each for each student for each course.  If a student misses travel without notifying ABSTUDY and cancelling their booking, then they will be penalised and lose that entitlement for travel.

Itineraries

Students must make sure they receive their travel itinerary from ABSTUDY.  If not sure, then students should ring ABSTUDY and Yalga-binbi to check their travel arrangements.

Things to Bring

A reminder of the things you will need to bring with you

• Personal belongings – clothes, toiletries (shampoo etc)

• Some photo ID for things like collecting money from the post office, air travel.
• Medication & Medicare card – remember if your are on medication to bring it with you. You will need your Medicare card if you need to see a doctor.

If you want to stop or change your study let us know and make sure you tell ABSTUDY as well because you could get overpaid and then have a Centrelink debt.
