4. Upfront payments

From 1 January 2023, you'll no longer receive a 10% discount when you make an upfront payment of $500 or more on your HECS-HELP loan.

You are welcome to make a full or partial upfront payment of your student contributions.

Payments are due by the due date displayed under 'Financial' in mySI-net.

To pay the full amount, first log in to mySI-net, then:

  1. Go to 'Financials'.
  2. Go to 'HECS-HELP eCAF' and choose the 'upfront payment' option.
  3. Follow the steps and submit.

If you're paying the full amount upfront, we encourage you to also submit your tax file number as a safety net.

Providing your tax file number will ensure your enrolment isn't cancelled if you forget – or you're unable – to pay your student contributions upfront in the future.

The tax file number will ensure that any outstanding student contributions are automatically paid by a HECS-HELP loan.

To make a partial payment, first log in to mySI-net then:

  1. Go to 'Financials'.
  2. Go to 'Pay my fees now' in the left-hand side menu.
  3. Enter the amount you wish to pay.
  4. Follow the steps and submit.
