Financial support

Cover the costs of study

It can be difficult to focus on your study, your goals or anything when money is tight or almost non-existent. We provide various financial support initiatives that may be appropriate for your situation.

Domestic fee assistance

Payment options

To pay for your degree, you may consider taking out a HECS-HELP loan (you must be a Commonwealth supported student) or a FEE-HELP loan (you must be paying domestic tuition fees).

Student loans and grants support students experiencing unexpected and demonstrated financial hardship with their education-related expenses.
