HELP limit

Following the passage of the Higher Education Support Legislation Amendment (Student Loan Sustainability) Act 2018, from 1 January 2020 the FEE-HELP limit is replaced by the HELP limit and will include HECS-HELP loans.

The HELP limit is the maximum amount that a person can borrow under HELP over their lifetime. This limit excludes any loan fee.  

The HELP limit in 2020 is $152,700 for medicine, dentistry and veterinary science students (as defined in the Higher Education Support Act 2003) and $106,319 for all other students.

Contact the Student Centre with any further questions.
