FEE HELP

TUITION FEE PAYMENT OPTIONS

You can choose to pay your tuition fees in the following ways:

  • HELP Assistance (previously known as FEE-HELP Assistance)
  • Pay Fees Upfront
  • Upfront Payment for Single Unit/s + HELP

Tuition fees for each study period are to be paid in advance before the commencement of each study period.  You can either elect to pay upfront, in full or a portion upfront, with the balance deferred to HELP.  If you elect to pay your tuition fees up front, this does not prevent you from accessing HELP at any time, provided an electronic Commonwealth Assistance form (eCAF) to defer tuition to FEE-HELP assistance is lodged before the relevant Census Date for the study period.

HELP

HELP is a loan scheme that helps eligible Australian fee-paying students (full-time or part-time) pay their tuition fees.  HELP can cover all or part of your tuition fees. The Australian Government pays the amount of the loan direct to Whitehouse. You’ll make repayments on your loan through the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) whenever your income is above the threshold, or you can make voluntary repayment to ATO at any time.  No interest or loan fees is charged on your HELP loan, however, it is indexed each year with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in line with the cost of living.

ELIGIBILITY

To be eligible for HELP you must be an Australian citizen, New Zealand citizen eligible for a Special Category visa or hold a permanent humanitarian visa whilst remaining a resident in Australia, or a permanent visa holder who is undertaking study for overseas-trained professional and will be a resident in Australia for the duration of studies.

WHEN IS A HELP DEBT INCURRED?

You incur a HELP debt immediately after the census date for the study period for which you received HELP assistance. If you have requested a HELP loan, but change your mind about studying, you must cancel or defer your enrolment in writing from the subject(s) on or before the census date or you will incur a HELP debt to the Commonwealth Government.

2020 HELP Limit Changes

WHAT IS THE COMBINED HELP LOAN LIMIT?

The combined HELP loan limit is a cap on what you can borrow from the Australian Government to cover the costs of your tuition fees. The HELP loan limit will replace the current FEE-HELP limit from 1 January 2020.

WHAT ARE THE HELP LOAN LIMIT AMOUNTS?

For 2020, the HELP loan limit is $106,319 for most students.

DO MY PAST HELP OR VSL DEBTS COUNT?

Yes. Existing FEE-HELP, VET FEE-HELP and VET Student Loan debts will be carried over and count towards your HELP loan limit.   On 1 January 2020, your FEE-HELP balance will become your HELP balance and subject to allowable loan limit.
