I want to apply for InpUTS, the UTS educational access scheme. these are the reasons i have (in general, i have more):
- my mother:
- unemployed, sacked from her employee after working for them for twenty years
- battled for compension since 2000, has had many court cases and won a couple, which I have to help her prepare for, since solicitors have refused her case and she has to act for herself
- obsessive compulsive disorder
- receives disability pension due to inability to work
- limited ability to drive and do housework due to her disablity, so i have to look after her and do housework.
- visits her psychiatrist, psychologist and a range of specialists regularly, so doesnt have much time to look after me or my sister properly.

-my father:
- sleeping disability, which reduces his driving ability.

- I receive youth allowance and health care card
- financial difficulties, due to my mother being disabled and unemployed, my dad's income rather low.
- my parents are both migrants, their engligh is not that good so i have to translate stuff for them sometimes
- I live in liverpool but i attend baulkham hills high school, which means 2+ hrs commuting to and fro every school day. i catch 2 trains and 2 buses, since my parents can hardly drive me due to their disability. i get home extremely tired and sleep about 4-5 hours a day- since i have to help my mum, do housework AND do assignments, etc.

MY QUESTIONS:
1. do you think this is enough to qualify for the EAS scheme?
2. how do i prove that helping my mum prepare for court cases has affected my study? this includes typing, editing, reading documents. (since she is disabled, limited english, etc. )
3. how do i prove that i waste my study time doing housework since my mum can't do it physically and is too busy visiting doctors? what documents do i need?
4. most importantly, how do i prove that due to me living physically far away, plus my family responsibilties, and being massively sleepy due to all this - has decreased my ability to study properly? wat documemnts do i need? HELP!

Everything's in there, including the basis for applying and documents you need.
Mostly the problems needed to have happened during your time in Year 11 & 12.

You have a pretty good case, the fact that you're on Centrelink.
(that wasn't meant to sound bitchy or anything)

I doubt you'll get points for the long distance to school thing, you chose to go to Baulko. Speaking of which, must mean you're pretty smart so that might be a limiting factor in EAS.

You can easily decide not to attend Baulko. You made a conscious decision to go to that school - you'll have to wear that.

However, everything else, you should be able to get EAS for. I'm sorry to hear that that stuff is happening to you. If I were you - I'd definitely apply. Talk to your year advisor/deputy principal, see what they say. Talk to your school counselor - I'm not sure how things work at Baulko, but at my school, to apply for EAS, it needs to all go through the counselor's office.

You won't be able to get an EAS. You're poor, so what? Join the club, there's only around 20000 other year 12s in the same position as you.
However, if you're able to get an interview with them, I'm sure they'd take everything into consideration as you can explain everything face to face.

i think you need a psyche assessment because you're one deluded idiot to think you're going to get all this
the documents youll need can be found at your local loony bin
just because you dont have a merc does not mean youre poor
