If your enrolment status is still conditional, please submit the required documents to TAFE International Western Australia (TIWA) to confirm your enrolment prior to orientation.

Before orientation, you must create your Unique Student Identifier (USI). All students enrolled at a TAFE college in Australia need a USI, which links your enrolment details  to your training records and results for easy access when you need them.
