Education and Teaching Connections
Universities
Connections Publishing provides independent information about all of Australia's 40+ universities. We have access to detailed information and stats about student enrolments, course ratings, graduate salaries and graduate employment.
It's not just about the top ranked universities but also the teaching focused and regional universities. For international students, we know that low tuition fees are important, as well as scholarships. After all, the average cost of tuition is upwards of $25,000 per year.
Tutoring services
Opportunities to earn some money as a university student are available by tutoring other students, particularly at high school and primary school levels. There's also demand from "grown ups" for tutoring in special interest areas such as music and art.
Tutoring networks such as Tutors Field Australia make it easy to register to be a tutor or find a tutor near you. Through TFA, you can find a tutor in Sydney, Melbourne and other Australian cities. Popular subjects include English, Maths, and Piano and Guitar lessons.
Family studies
Child Support Australia is a guide to child support and its interaction with family law in Australia. The articles are written by an independent, private research group. If you're a separated parent, you can find out how the government and legal systems really work when it comes to supporting your children.
CSA is an education service that fills an important gap. You can find out things that lawyers won't tell you (they like to charge for things) and which government agencies won't say. The guide also doesn't have an agenda apart from education and research-based reform.
