DEFER YOUR COURSE FEES
About the FEE-HELP loan scheme
FEE-HELP is an initiative of the Australian Government that allows students not receiving government support to study now and pay later for their tertiary education.
FEE-HELP is a loan from the Australian Government paid directly to INSEARCH which is then repaid through the tax system as soon as student’s income passes a certain level. Insearch is approved to offer the FEE-HELP loan scheme to eligible students.
A loan fee of 20% is levied by the Australian Government to FEE-HELP loans for undergraduate courses of study.
NOTE: On 2nd November 2009, the Government announced that, subject to the passage of legislation, the FEE-HELP loan fee will increase to 25% for units of study with census dates on or after 1 July 2010.
Who is eligible for FEE-HELP?
Only Australian citizens or holders of an Australian permanent humanitarian visa are eligible.
Australian Citizens, Australian Permanent Residents and New Zealand Citizens will receive FEE-HELP information with their INSEARCH Letter of Offer.
Eligible FEE-HELP students can either pay the course fees as specified as a non-FEE-HELP student or can contact the INSEARCH Student Services office to obtain a Request for FEE-HELP Assistance form and information pack.
How do I apply for FEE-HELP?
To secure your place at INSEARCH you must either pay your fees upfront as a non FEE-HELP student or complete and return the Request for FEE-HELP Assistance form to INSEARCH Student Services prior to semester commencement. Places in some courses are limited so an early response is desirable to secure a place.
Please note a tax file number is required to complete the Request for FEE-HELP Assistance form.
Full details of the loan scheme can be found on the Australian Government's GoingToUni website.
