Congrats on finishing your exams!

this which might be helpful. (I know it’s for QCE, but same principles apply for VCE graduates.)
Coolmate has also created a
thread on post-exam activities, which might also give you some ideas.
I’m also about to re-post and update an old questionnaire I had about post-exam activities from a few years ago. I’ll add a link here when that’s been posted.
Edit (30/11/2020): Posted the updated questionnaire here last night. In the meantime, if you haven’t already, go and apply for a Tax File Number. You’ll need it if you’re an Australian (and maybe NZ) citizen or PR wanting to go study higher education e.g. uni (for higher education loans) or work, and the application usually takes a while this time of year, so getting in early will mean you have it just in time for uni offers or Christmas casual work. You can also apply for Centrelink if eligible.
In non-boring paperwork, you could easily get some much-needed R & R, clean your room, enjoy your newfound freedom, catch up on your favourite hobbies and much much more!
Edit: Just realised you said
productive things to do. Same applies, really. Rest is important especially after all that stress, but the paperwork and “adulting” (e.g. getting a job, getting your driver’s license, getting your exercise back up and running, organising your life now) will prove useful and productive in this time too.
