VET FEE-HELP

What is VET FEE-HELP?

VET FEE-HELP is a loan that the Australian Government provides to eligible students to help pay part or all of their tuition fees for approved vocational education and training (VET) courses.

VET FEE-HELP quick facts

• Just about every Australian citizen is eligible
• You can begin your studies now and pay later
• You repay only when your income reaches a certain threshold

How does VET FEE-HELP work?

If you are eligible, you won't need to pay for your course upfront. Instead, you can borrow up to the total tuition fee. The Australian Government pays the amount of the loan on your behalf and you start repaying through the tax system once your income reaches the minimum repayment threshold. For the 2011-12 income year, the threshold is $47,195.

Who is eligible for VET FEE-HELP?

Just about every Australian citizen is eligible for VET FEE-HELP. Only those who have reached their VET FEE-HELP lifetime limits are ineligible.
