TABL3033/5933 is a Work Integrated Learning (WIL) and Final Year Synthesis course, where students join the UNSW Tax and Business Advisory Clinic team for one day a week (9am-5pm) and attend fortnightly seminars. The Clinic offers free accounting and tax advisory services to individuals and small businesses in serious financial hardship.
Under the supervision of CA/CPA-qualified clinical supervisors, you will gain hands-on experience undertaking work for real clients. You will conduct interviews with clients, make strategic decisions about conduct of the file, undertake research, draft all documents and where appropriate be involved in objections and advocacy work. You will also deliver in-community outreach education workshops to support and empower financially vulnerable people and communities.
You will be able to advance your professional skills, technical skills, critical thinking, communication, teamwork, research, innovation and creativity and leadership skills – all while making a difference to the most disadvantaged in our society.

Thank you once again for the meaningful opportunity to be part of the clinic. I believe the practical experience, skills and mentorship I gained have successfully landed me a graduate role as a Tax Consultant within the Financial Advisory division at PwC Australia. I hope the clinic continues to prosper with more success stories as well as improving social justice outcomes in the community.

This course has definitely improved my knowledge on not just the academic aspect of tax-related topics, but also my practical skills when working with clients in the future. Thanks to this course, I am certain I want to pursue a career in taxation.
