What is FEE-HELP?

FEE-HELP is an Australian government loan scheme

Students interested in FEE-HELP should read the 'FEE-HELP Information Booklet' and 'Request for FEE-HELP Assistance Application' available from La Trobe College Australia and also refer to the Australian Government's Study Assist website.

A student can elect to pay a portion of fees directly to La Trobe College Australia, and the remaining debt will be registered as a loan through the Australian Taxation Office.

The FEE-HELP limit is indexed annually (as measured by the CPI index). A loan fee of 20% applies to FEE-HELP loans. Indexation and the loan fee do not count towards your FEE-HELP limit.

The Government pays the amount of the loan directly to the student's higher education provider.

Note: FEE-HELP loan policy requires students to maintain a minimum pass rate, relevant to the number of units they are enrolled in (not their academic pass rate), to continue using FEE-HELP for their studies. Please contact Student Services if you have any questions.
