잠시 시간을 내서 확인하기

사기범들은 취약한 보안을 악용하고, 우리가 일상 생활에서 방심할 때를 노립니다.

자신을 안전하게 지키는 법:

  • 멈추세요 – myGov 로그인 정보, 납세자 번호 (TFN)나 은행 계좌 정보 등과 같은 개인 정보를 다른 사람에게 알려주지 마세요. 다만, 그 사람을 신뢰하고 있으며, 그 사람에게 해당 정보가 정말 필요한 경우는 예외입니다.
  • 확인하세요 – 잠시만 시간을 내서 확인하세요. 이 메시지나 전화가 가짜일 수도 있지 않을까 의심해 보세요. 정말로 ATO가 보낸 연락이 맞나요?
  • 보호하세요 – 뭔가 이상하다는 느낌이 들거나 ATO 계정에 의심스러운 활동이 보인다면 즉시 조치하세요.

여러분이 공유하는 정보에 대해 항상 유의하십시오. 사기범이 개인 정보를 알아내면, 은행 계좌에 접근하거나 myGov 계정에 로그인 하거나, 명의를 도용해서 돈을 훔치거나 사기 행각을 벌일 수 있습니다.

누군가와 소통할 때 이상하다고 느껴지면, 소통을 중단하십시오. 그리고 다음 중 하나의 조치를 취하십시오.

  • 사기 확인 혹은 신고 웹사이트 방문 (영어)
  • 국세청의 최신 사기 경고 확인 (영어), 또는
  • 국세청 1800 008 540번으로 확인 전화하기. 영어 이외의 다른 언어로 국세청과 통화를 원하시는 경우, 통번역 서비스 (TIS National)에 13 14 50번으로 연락하세요.

데이터 유출 피해로 인해 개인 식별 정보가 유출되었다면, 개인을 위한 데이터 유출 대처 안내서 (영어)를 참조하세요.

개인 정보

사기범들은 개인 정보 일부만 가지고도 신분 도용이나 사기를 저지를 수 있습니다. 개인 정보의 예:

  • 이름과 성
  • 생년월일
  • 현주소
  • myGov 및 ATO online 로그인 정보
  • TFN
  • 비밀번호
  • 은행 계좌 번호
  • 신용 카드 정보
  • 운전면허증 정보
  • 여권 정보.

사기범들은 이 정보를 다양한 방식으로 악용할 수 있습니다. 예를 들어, 명의를 도용해서 환급 사기를 저지르거나, myGov에 접근해서 세금 환금급을 가로채거나, 연금을 탈취하거나, 다크 웹 등을 통해 범죄 조직에 신원 정보를 팔아넘길 수 있습니다.

TFN과 같은 개인 정보가 도난당했거나, 오용되거나, 유출되었다고 의심되는 경우, 가능한 신속하게 1800 467 033으로 연락하세요 (월-금, 오전 8시-오후 6시). 국세청이 조사하고 해당 ATO 계정에 대한 보안을 강화해 드릴 수 있습니다.

영어 이외의 다른 언어로 국세청과 통화를 원하시는 경우, 통번역 서비스 (TIS National)에13 14 50번으로 연락하세요.

신원 도용으로 인한 피해

신원 도용으로 인한 피해는 직접적인 금전적 손실 (예: 연금 전액 탈취, 명의 도용 환급 사기)에 그치지 않고, 개인 생활이나 직장 생활에도 상당한 문제를 야기할 수 있습니다. 예시:

  • 신용 등급에 영향을 미쳐 대출이나 신용카드 승인이 어려워질 수 있습니다.
  • 신원 확인 및 새 신분증 발급에 어려움이 생길 수 있습니다.
  • 평판이 훼손되거나, 소셜 미디어 계정이 해킹되어 허위 정보가 퍼질 수도 있습니다.

신원 도용 피해자가 신원을 회복하고 피해를 복구하는 데 수년이 걸릴 수도 있습니다.

정서적으로도 큰 고통을 겪게 됩니다. 신분 도용 피해자들은 자신의 개인 정보가 언제든지 타인에 의해 악용될 수 있다는 생각에 스트레스, 불안감, 그리고 무력감을 느끼는 경우가 많습니다.

내 정보를 지키는 방법

개인 정보를 안전하게 지키기 위한 최고의 팁:

  1. 누구에게도 개인 정보를 알려주지 마세요. 다만, 그 사람을 신뢰하고 있으며, 그 사람에게 해당 정보가 정말 필요한 경우는 예외입니다.
  2. 국세청은 QR 코드나 온라인 포털 링크가 포함된 이메일이나 문자 메시지를 먼저 보내지 않습니다. 사기범들은 종종 이러한 수범으로 개인 정보를 빼내거나 기기에 악성 코드를 심습니다. QR 코드나 온라인 포털 링크를 열어보라는 알림을 받았다면 사기이니 주의하세요.
  3. 온라인 서비스는 반드시 브라우저에 주소를 직접 입력해 접속하고, 링크를 클릭하지 마세요.
  4. TFN 보호 – 세무사, 현 직장 고용주, 은행 등과 같이 정당한 이유로 TFN이 필요한 기관이나 사람에게만 알려주세요. TFN을 알려주기 전에, 그 상대방이 정말로 본인이 말하는 그 사람이 맞는지 확인하는 것이 중요합니다.
  5. 비밀번호를 타인에게 절대로 알려주지 마세요. 비밀번호 대신 문장 형태의 비밀 문구를 사용해 보세요. 비밀번호 관리자를 이용하면 비밀 문구를 만들고 저장하는 데 도움이 됩니다. 또한, 정기적으로 업데이트하는 것도 고려하세요.
  6. 다단계 인증을 설정하세요. 그렇게 하면 사기범들이 비밀번호를 알아내더라도, 계정에 접근하는 것이 훨씬 더 어려워집니다.
  7. 기기를 최신 버전으로 업데이트하세요. 사기범들은 바이러스, 악성 프로그램 등을 통해 휴대폰, 컴퓨터, 태블릿 등의 기기에 접속해서 개인 정보를 훔칠 수 있습니다.
  8. Digital ID (예: myID)의 보안 수준을 최대로 설정하고, myGov를 통해 ATO online service에 접속하세요.

myID에 대한 자세한 정보는 myID 설정 방법External Link (영어)에서 확인하실 수 있습니다.

Lyn Krejci donating blood as part of the Emergency Services Blood Drive

For Loch Sport Fire Brigade member Lyn Krejci, regular blood and plasma donations are just another way to give back to the community.

Having made 21 donations over two decades, Lyn rolls up her sleeves wherever she can by travelling to her closest blood bank or booking into the mobile van when it comes to town. 

With many people close to her affected by cancer, she has witnessed first-hand the vital impact that donated blood products have on lifesaving treatments.  

“I have a really good friend who is currently fighting multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer, my sister has been battling breast cancer, and I have actually had a cancer scare myself some years ago,” Lyn said.  

“I lost both of my parents from cancer, so it’s a cause that’s very close to home for me.”  

Donated blood products contribute to lifesaving treatments for a range of conditions and situations, including cancer, rare blood disorders, immune deficiencies, road trauma and more.  

“So many people rely on blood, and it’s important for me to contribute to that,” Lyn said.  

“As my friend goes through her treatment and I see the impact of how donated blood has helped her, it really hits home how important it is to do my part.” 

After retiring to Loch Sport with her family three years ago, Lyn was inspired to join CFA following a fire in the area.  

“My husband was previously a career firefighter and joined CFA when we first moved here. Not long after, there was a fire that impacted Loch Sport, and I realised that I didn’t know a lot about what to do in that situation,” Lyn said.   

“I had planned to join CFA as a non-operational member, but then discovered I was capable of doing so much more than I originally thought.  

“I did my General Firefighter training and now I’m an active firefighter and Brigade Community Safety Coordinator, and I love educating the community about being fire safe.” 

For Lyn, both donating blood products and volunteering with CFA come back to one core philosophy – helping others.  

“The way I look at it, donating blood or plasma is something extra I can do to support the community. It’s a cause that I am personally close to, it’s easy for me to do and it’s also so important for people to get behind. 

“Every time I sit in the chair to donate, I think of all those people I know who have been impacted, and I think to myself ‘thank you for inspiring me to do this’.” 

The Lifeblood Emergency Services Blood Drive runs until 31 August. You can join CFA’s team and book a donation by visiting www.lifeblood.com.au, calling 13 14 95 or downloading the Donate Blood app.

Professional development round for teachers and educators

Source: Murray Darling Basin Authority

The Albanese Government is strengthening the early childhood education sector by upskilling workers through a new round of paid prac subsidy and professional development opportunities.

Applications open today for the next round of the Professional Development Subsidy, Paid Practicum Subsidy and the Practicum Exchange Living Allowance grants.

Professional development not only helps early educators build skills and knowledge but also contributes to safe, high-quality education and care.

The Professional Development Subsidy enables positions to be backfilled while early childhood educators, teachers and centre directors undertake professional development opportunities, or allows staff to be paid for undertaking these opportunities outside of work hours.

Professional development opportunities can include highly recommended training, such as additional child safety and quality training, inclusion training and/or leadership training, and mandatory training such as First Aid and/or CPR training.

The Paid Practicum Subsidy helps early learning providers to give existing educators paid leave while they undertake the practicum placements required to complete their early childhood education and care qualifications.

The Paid Practicum Subsidy is available for educators undertaking a Diploma of Early Childhood Education or relevant Early Childhood Teaching qualifications, including post-graduate Early Childhood Teaching qualifications.

To assist with living and travel costs while educators undertake a practicum placement in a rural or remote area organised via the Practicum Exchange Network, applications will also open for the Practicum Exchange Living Allowance.

The subsidies and Practicum Exchange Living Allowance are part of the Government’s $72.4 million Early Childhood Education Workforce Package, introduced in 2023 to support the training and development of the Early Childhood Education and Care workforce.

Over the past two years, the Government has supported approximately 2,850 student educators through the paid practicum subsidy and more than 86,000 educators have benefited from the professional development subsidy.

Quotes attributable to Minister for Early Childhood Education and Minister for Youth, Senator Dr Jess Walsh:

“I want to ensure that children have a positive, rewarding and safe early education experience so they get the best possible start in life.

“These grants help to build and retain our existing highly skilled early learning workforce.

“Creating a stable workforce also paves the way for our plans to continue expanding access to quality early education, starting with our 3 Day Guarantee that comes in from January next year.”

 

Historic day for equality as plasma donation rules change

Source: Northern Territory Police and Fire Services

As part of ACT Government’s ‘One Government, One Voice’ program, we are transitioning this website across to our . You can access everything you need through this website while it’s happening.

Released 14/07/2025

The ACT Government has today welcomed the lifting of restrictions on plasma donations, with gay and bisexual men and transgender women now eligible to donate plasma under new inclusive rules.

From today, most sexual activity-based deferrals that previously excluded many LGBTIQA+ people from donating plasma will be removed, a milestone moment in the journey toward equity in Australia’s healthcare system.

Lifeblood has also been progressing changes to blood donation eligibility, with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) approving a submission to remove gender-based sexual activity rules for blood and platelets, expected next year.

Chris Steel MLA, a long-time advocate for blood donation reform, will mark the occasion by donating plasma at the Lifeblood’s Civic Donor Centre.

“Today we are no longer being treated differently because of who we are or who we love,” Minister Steel said.

“Like thousands of other Australians, the LGBTIQIA+ community have been ready and willing to roll up our sleeves to safely contribute to the blood supply, and now we can.

“This is a win for equality, for evidence-based policy, and for public health.

“I hope these changes encourage everyone who can to consider donating.”

Minister for Health Rachel Stephen-Smith said the change comes at a critical time for Australia’s health system.

“Plasma is the most in-demand blood product in the country, with rising demand for lifesaving treatments across Australia,” Minister Stephen-Smith said.

“Opening up donation to more Australians not only strengthens the blood and plasma supply, it also sends a strong signal that our donation system is based on safety, science and fairness.”

“This change reflects the ACT Government’s longstanding commitment to inclusion and health equity, and I commend Australian Red Cross Lifeblood and the Therapeutic Goods Administration for delivering this important reform.”

Canberra is also leading the way when it comes to plasma donation. On a per capita basis, Canberra’s plasma donors are the most generous in the country, ahead of every other capital city.

Today’s change means people previously excluded from plasma donation, including gay and bisexual men, sex workers, people on PrEP, and more, can now donate, provided they meet standard eligibility criteria.

These changes are expected to allow an additional 24,000 Australians to donate and enable 95,000 more plasma donations every year.

Australians are encouraged to consider donating plasma. To check eligibility or book a donation, visit www.lifeblood.com.au or call 13 14 95.

Tackling a $1.2 billion problem for Australian farmers using dirt-cheap crushed volcanic rock

Source:

14 July 2025

UniSA researcher Dr Binoy Sarkar and a student spreading basalt onto crops.

Cheap volcanic rock that languishes in open cut mines and quarries could transform Australia’s farming sector as a natural fertiliser, boosting crop yields and removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

It turns out that crushed basalt – a common rock used to make roads, houses, schools and hospitals – may address two very critical issues of our time: climate change and acidic soils.

University of South Australia (UniSA) environmental researcher Dr Binoy Sarkar is leading an Enhanced Rock Weathering trial that involves applying crushed basalt to agricultural soils, measuring its nutrient release and carbon capture.

Dr Sarkar, from UniSA’s Future Industries Institute,  is collaborating with James Cook University, the Tropical North Queensland Drought Hub, and industry partner Carbonaught Pty Ltd on two projects, funded by the Federal Government and Cascade Climate.

“Australian farmers spend nearly $1.2 billion a year to tackle soil acidification, using expensive liming materials that in themselves contribute to greenhouse gas emissions,” Dr Sarkar says.

“Large volumes of adequately fine rock particles – a byproduct of the mining and construction industry – can be bought for as little as $30 per ton and applied to soils using existing farm equipment, with negligible expense.

“Basalt does not completely replace chemical fertilisers, but it can cut fertiliser amounts needed to grow crops, saving farmers a lot of money and substantially improving their profit margins.”

A truck spreading basalt – crushed rock from quarries – onto crops.

Farming with basalt solves two critical challenges facing Australian agriculture: improving infertile soils and simultaneously removing greenhouse gas emissions from farming practices that include nitrogen fertilisers, deforestation and land clearing.

“As a country, we have committed to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Almost 18% of our emissions are produced by the agricultural sector, primarily from crop production and emissions from livestock,” Dr Sarkar says.

“Lime is commonly used for correcting soil acidity, but it is expensive and contributes heavily to on-farm carbon dioxide emissions. Basalt naturally reduces acidity, captures carbon, and it also releases nutrients such as phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and silicon into the soil.”   

Dr Sarkar says the research will not only benefit Australia’s agricultural sector, but also the mining sector, where basalt is a byproduct that has to be dug and moved aside before reaching valuable minerals located at depth.

This byproduct is already crushed to make road building and construction materials, but finer fractions are stockpiled, often taking up large amounts of space with negligible commercial use.

Society at large is also a winner, thanks to basalt scrubbing gigatons of carbon dioxide from the air.

Dr Sarkar’s collaborative team is the first in Australia to receive significant R&D federal funding ($5 million) to trial the low-cost carbon cutting technology nationally.

“I hope we can see a lot more trials in the next few years, to build confidence and propel a large-scale adoption of this rock weathering technology.

“It will also provide opportunities for farmers and quarry owners to sell carbon credits and earn additional profits. Our farmers will be able to take advantage of this huge market when we have a strong monitoring, reporting and verification program for the technology.”

Nominations now open for Greater Bendigo Youth Awards

Source: New South Wales Ministerial News

Awards to celebrate and recognise the everyday contributions, skills, accomplishments and achievements of young people aged between 12 and 25 years of age who work, live and study in Greater Bendigo.

The awards aim to recognize and honour the skills and accomplishments of young individuals across various areas, as reflected in the six award categories which are:

  • Creativity and innovation
  • Contribution to the community
  • Excellence in leadership
  • Teamwork and collaboration
  • Sustainability and environment
  • Inclusion and equity

City of Greater Bendigo Mayor Cr Andrea Metcalf said the awards program recognises the everyday contributions of young people in our community that often go unrecognised.  

“By nominating a young person for the Youth Awards, you will help shine a light on their efforts and inspire others. Recognizing these young individuals not only honours their hard work and dedication but also encourages them to continue making positive impacts,” Cr Metcalf said.

“We have exceptional young people in Greater Bendigo who make small and large contributions to the community that have a lasting and positive impact on our lives every day.  Often this goes unrecognised, but they keep quietly working and using their skills and talents to make Greater Bendigo a better place.

“It’s often said that young people are the leaders of tomorrow, but we know that young people are already leaders today. They are kind, creative, innovative, and generous with their time and contribute to improving the lives and experiences of those around them through their actions both big and small.

“If you know a young person who you think should be acknowledged, I encourage you to nominate them for the City’s youth awards.”

Greater Bendigo Youth Mayor Levity Camilleri said the Youth Awards are an incredible way to celebrate and acknowledge the creativity, leadership, and excellence of local young people.

“It’s truly amazing and inspiring to see the diverse skills, contributions, and stories of young people in our community,” Levity Camilleri said.

“It’s important to appreciate young people’s work across the municipality, it helps strengthen our culture, social cohesion, and quality of life. I encourage anyone who knows an exceptional young person who contributes to our community to nominate them for the Youth Awards and to celebrate their contribution.”

Nominations for the Greater Bendigo Youth Awards can be made online until 5pm Tuesday September 30, 2025. 

Finalists will be invited to an awards ceremony which will take place on Friday November 21, 2025.

Nominations to the Greater Bendigo Youth Awards may also be considered for the 2026 City of Greater Bendigo Young Citizen Year of the Year award.
