What is VET FEE-HELP?

VET FEE-HELP is an income contingent loan scheme that assists eligible students to pay for all or part of their VET tuition fees when studying one or more of the following accredited VET courses at Chisholm:

• Diplomas
• Advanced diplomas
• Graduate certificates

A different loan scheme, FEE-HELP, is available for Chisholm degrees.

Students do not have to repay the VET FEE-HELP loan - which is provided by the Australian Government – until their income is above the minimum repayment threshold for compulsory repayment.

An eligible student must be an Australian citizen or permanent humanitarian visa holder who is resident in Australia for the duration of study.

There is no age restriction on VET FEE-HELP.
