Student assistance schemes
AUSTUDY
Generally, AUSTUDY provides financial help, on an income
and assets-tested basis, to students who are 16 years of age
or over and who are studying approved full-time secondary
and tertiary studies. Some part-time students receiving a sole
parent pension may also receive the educational supplement.
Helpful hints about AUSTUDY
Pick up your application form and information booklet
from AUSTUDY, a CES officer or from your campus.
Read the information booklet carefully.
If having read the booklet you still have questions, then
seek help from the Financial Adviser on campus.
If your friends, family or family accountant say you are
not eligible, don't assume they are correct - the
eligibility criteria are complex and students' circumstances
vary.
Don't assume that you are not eligible, if in doubt put in
an application anyway.
Fill in your application form carefully - mistakes or
omissions will mean delays in receiving your first
payment.
