FEE-HELP

FEE-HELP is a loan scheme the Australian Government offers to help you pay all or part of the fees for a course not subsidised by the government.

This page explains how to:

• apply for a FEE-HELP loan
• know or estimate the fees you are liable to pay
• make an upfront payment
• view your invoices and other important information.

See the Study Assist website for more information on FEE-HELP loans, including eligibility criteria.

Due dates

You need to be aware of 2 critical dates - the fee due date and the Census Date.

Fee due date

You must pay your fees by the due date:

• For standard semesters, research quarters and teaching periods, view fee due dates in the Academic Calendar.
• For programs and courses with unique dates – such as medical or intensive programs – go to 'Enrolments' on mySI-net. 

Census Date

We finalise all enrolment details and fee payments on the Census Date.

By the Census Date, you must have:

1. completed your FEE-HELP loan application by the Census Date if you are applying for a loan
2. withdrawn from any courses by the Census Date to avoid financial penalties.

To find your Census Date:

• For standard semesters, research quarters and teaching periods, view Census Date in the Academic Calendar.
• For programs and courses with unique dates - such as medical or intensive programs - go to 'Enrolments' on mySI-net.
