Aim of the scheme
The aim of ITAS is to help Indigenous students achieve educational outcomes equal to those of other Australians.
Apart from the provision of tutors, ITAS funds may also be provided to Homework Centres where Indigenous school students can complete homework and study assignments.
Indigenous students who are assessed as requiring additional assistance with their studies may receive this assistance from a tutor, either individually or in a small group.
Administration
ITAS is administered by the Department of Social Services (DSS) as part of the Indigenous Education Training Programme. Further information is available from the DSS Indigenous Education website, or by contacting DSS via phone.
Services Australia does not handle enquiries regarding ITAS. Customers with questions about ITAS should contact DSS.
