Domestic Students - VET FEE-HELP
PLEASE NOTE : VET FEE-HELP is only available to eligible Australian domestic residents.

Students wishing to access VET FEE-HELP assistance are invited to discuss their eligibiltiy with us.
VET FEE-HELP is an income contingent loan scheme for the VET sector that is part of the Higher Education Loan Program (HELP).

How will VET FEE-HELP assist you to pay tuition fees?
If you are eligible for VET FEE-HELP, you may choose to pay your tuition fee in one of three ways:

VET FEE-HELP assistance provides a loan for tuition fees only. It does not cover accommodation, living expenses or other fees or expenses that a student may incur.
Your VET FEE-HELP debt is repaid via the Australian Tax Office once your income reaches the minimum threshold for compulsory repayment. The minimum repayment threshold for compulsory repayment for 2009-2010 is AU$43,150.
