FEE-HELP

Need help paying for your studies?

You may be able to study now and defer your tuition fees through FEE-HELP, an Australian Government loan scheme that helps eligible students pay all or part of their tuition fees.

As an approved Higher Education Provider, Curtin College can offer FEE-HELP to eligible students, helping you access your studies without having to pay your eligible tuition fees upfront.

Are you eligible?

You may be eligible for FEE-HELP if you:

  • Are an Australian citizen and study at least part of your course in Australia; or
  • Hold a New Zealand Special Category Visa (SCV) and meet the eligibility and residency requirements; or
  • Hold a permanent humanitarian visa and meet the eligibility and residency requirements.

Eligibility requirements apply, and you’ll need to provide supporting documentation.

How does it work?

When you apply to Curtin College, you’ll provide the required documents to confirm your eligibility. Once you receive your Letter of Offer, you’ll be provided with information about your available payment options, including FEE-HELP if you are eligible.

If you choose FEE-HELP, you’ll need to complete the relevant government requirements before your loan can be applied to your eligible tuition fees.

20% loan fee

A 20% loan fee may apply to FEE-HELP loans for eligible fee-paying students. The loan fee is applied to the amount of your loan and does not apply to students who are subsidised by the Australian Government.
