  • If you need assistance with your fees, submit an enquiry AskMQ prior to the due date.
  • If you enrol in units after 23 July 2021, your new payment due date will be the same day you enrol.

2. Defer your fees

Defer your fees to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) through the Higher Education Loan Program scheme (HELP) if you are an eligible student.

Eligible students are:

  • Australian Citizens, or
  • Permanent Humanitarian visa holders, or
  • New Zealand citizens who have been assessed as meeting the eligibility criteria

To be eligible to defer your fees you must complete the following by the Session 2 census date, 19 August 2021:

  • Lodge an approved HECS-HELP form (with tax file number) to defer your tuition fees only if you are in a Commonwealth Supported (CSP) course or
  • Lodge an approved FEE-HELP form (with tax file number) to defer your tuition fees only if you are in a Domestic Fee Paying course, and
  • Lodge an approved SA-HELP form to defer your Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) if applicable. The SSAF is a non-academic fee which may be loaded onto your eStudent the day after enrolling in units. To find out if you are liable for this fee refer to the SSAF page.

For steps on how to complete the relevant HELP forms via eStudent have a look at our handy government assistance forms guide [PDF 259KB].

If you are a current student, continuing in the same course, and have already lodged HECS-HELP and SA-HELP forms, you are not required to re-submit these forms.
