What is FEE-HELP?

• Bachelor of Community Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drugs

Students do not have to repay the loan, which is facilitated by the Australian Taxation Office, until their income is above the minimum repayment threshold for compulsory repayment.  Voluntary repayments may be made at any time.  There is a loan fee of 25% for FEE-HELP loans for undergraduate courses.
