Austudy / Abstudy

Austudy / Abstudy

Eligible students can receive financial assistance from the Australian Government. 

NOTE: On 1 January 2018, changes to the approval criteria of VET and higher education courses for student payment purposes came into effect. These changes will restrict the approval of student payments to:

·         tertiary VET courses (at diploma level and above) and education providers that are approved for VET Student Loans (VSL); and

·        accredited higher education courses offered by higher education providers approved for the Higher Education Loan Program (HELP).

Students undertaking courses that no longer meet the VSL and HELP approval criteria part-way through their course will continue to receive their student payments unless there is a break in entitlement to the payments.

You will be required to submit your confirmation of enrolment Letter to Austudy in order for your application to be processed.
