A VET Student Loan is an Australian Government loan scheme enabling you to defer part or all of your tuition fees up to the available course loan cap, and re-pay them via the Australian taxation system once your income reaches a certain threshold ($51,550 in 2023-2024 income/financial year).
A VET student loan gives rise to a VETSL debt that continues to be a debt due to the Commonwealth until it is repaid.

New students commencing their Diploma / Advanced Diploma / Graduate Certificate (VET) / Graduate Diploma (VET) TAFE level course, will be able to access a VET Student Loan for a tuition fee loan up to the published course loan cap, providing they meet VET Student Loan student eligibility criteria, and providing the course is approved for VET Student Loans for Box Hill Institute by the government.
Is there a fee?
There is no loan fee for government subsidised students. A 20% loan fee applies to full-fee students and is added onto your VET Student Loan debt.

To be eligible for a VET Student Loan, you must meet citizenship requirements, academic suitability course entry requirements, your course must be listed on the VET Student Loan Eligible Courses List, your total loan for the course must be within the stated course loan cap, and you cannot have exceeded your Combined HELP Loan Lifetime Limit. If you are under 18, you must also have parental consent* to take out this loan. Details as follows:

Existing FEE-HELP, VET FEE-HELP and VET Student Loan debts are carried over and count towards your Combined HELP loan limit.

At enrolment you need to indicate your intention to apply for a VET Student Loan, by completing Box Hill Institute&rsquo;s VET Student Loan Intention form.

You will then receive a VET Student Loan Electronic Commonwealth Assistance Form (eCAF) submission request from the Government at least 2 days after your enrolment, via email.
You then follow the eCAF submission, which includes completing your details on the government&rsquo;s site via a unique pass-key code you will have been provided in the notification email. This also includes:
<ul>
 <li>the provision of your Tax File number, or, a copy of a &lsquo;Certificate of Application for a Tax File Number&rsquo; (obtained from the Australian Taxation Office) as part of the process. If you don&rsquo;t have a Tax file number yet, it is worth applying now &ndash; don&rsquo;t leave it until your enrolment day.</li>
 <li>the provision of your USI (unique student identifier)</li>
</ul>

What if I am not eligible for a VET Student Loan, or my course is not eligible for a VET Student Loan, or I am eligible but my tuition fees exceed the VET Student Loan course cap? If either you or your course are not eligible for a VET Student Loan, or if the cost of your tuition fees exceed the VET Student Loan course cap, you would need to pay any fees/excess fees (gap fees) not covered by the VET Student Loan either upfront, or find alternative financing options to cover your tuition gap fee payment. One of the options may be a Payment Plan via Debit Success. The Debit Success Payment Plan enables you to pay your fees via weekly or fortnightly instalments over the duration of your study in the calendar year. This can be arranged directly with Box Hill Institute Student Administration staff. Go to Payment Plans section below for more information.

FEE-HELP is an Australian Government loan scheme enabling you to defer part or all of your tuition fees. Your HELP debt is repaid through the tax system. In the 2023-2024 financial year, you will be required to make a compulsory repayment if your income is $51,550 or above. The debt is indexed each year to maintain its real value.
Box Hill Institute can offer you FEE-HELP if you are an eligible student enrolling in a Higher Education Bachelor degree, Associate Degree, Undergraduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma or Masters level course only. A 20% loan fee applies, and is added onto your FEE-HELP debt.
To be eligible, you must be either:
<ul>
 <li>an Australian citizen</li>
 <li>a permanent humanitarian visa holder</li>
 <li>New Zealand Special Category Visa holder who meets residency requirements</li>
 <li>have sufficient Combined HELP loan balance available. In 2024, students are entitled to $121,844 in FEE-HELP, VET Student Loan, VET FEE-HELP, and HECS-HELP* combined.</li>
</ul>
Please note: 
<ul>
 <li>Permanent residents are not eligible for FEE-HELP. </li>
 <li>*Existing FEE-HELP, VET FEE-HELP and VET Student Loan debts are carried over and count towards your Combined HELP loan limit. Only HECS-HELP incurred from 1/1/2020 onwards is included in the Combined HELP Loan Limit.</li>
</ul>

If you are interested in applying for FEE-HELP, you must:
<ul>
 <li><a href="https://www.studyassist.gov.au/resources/2024-fee-help-information-booklet" target="_blank" rel="noopener">read the FEE-HELP Booklet</a></li>
 <li>complete the application form</li>

Box Hill Institute has a new Payment Plan available to students wanting to spread their fee costs over the year. If you are a domestic student and not eligible for any other type of FEE-HELP or VET Student Loans, then this may be a great payment option for you. The Payment Plan is with <a href="https://www.debitsuccess.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Debit Success,</a> the largest direct debit provider in Australasia. It enables you to make weekly or fortnightly re-payments from your nominated bank account via direct debit to repay your fees. Final instalment is due by 4 weeks prior to your course finish date for the calendar year.

Students studying at all course levels from Year 11/12 and Certificate I right through to Bachelor Degrees (excluding international and short courses), where you are a domestic government-subsidised or domestic full-fee student, and not eligible for any other available loan or deferment agreement&ndash; i.e.
<ul>
 <li>Not eligible for VET Student Loan (Diploma/ Advanced Diploma) (if wanting to defer the tuition component of your fees &ndash; you may still defer material and amenity fee components via a Payment Plan, even if you use VET Student Loans for the tuition fee component)</li>
 <li>Not eligible for FEE-HELP (Undergraduate/ Post Graduate) and you are unable to pay the full tuition component of your fees upfront at enrolment.</li>
</ul>
If you are under 18 years old, you must also have an extra guarantor form signed by your parent/guardian. Your parent/guardian will also need to attend your enrolment session to do so.

Weekly or fortnightly repayments are required, with final instalment due no later than one month prior to your course finish date in the calendar year. Part Payment Plan is subject to the following administrative fees (both are added to the debt):
<ul>
 <li>$15 initial fee; plus</li>
 <li>a 4.8% billing fee (based on value of payment plan)</li>
</ul>
Where early withdrawal occurs, full balance must be settled no later than 2 weeks after date of withdrawal. You are still liable for all fees and charges even if you withdraw, subject to Box Hill Institute&rsquo;s Enrolment Policy &amp; Procedure. If you withdraw within the refund period stipulated in the Enrolment Policy and Procedure, the payment plan will be adjusted as required.

You can either apply in person or remotely/online.&nbsp;
<h3>In person</h3>
You must present with your Australian bank account or Australian credit card account details to the Student Administration cashier on-campus at either <a href="/campuses/box-hill-elgar-campus">Box Hill-Elgar</a>, <a href="/campuses/lilydale-lakeside-campus">Lilydale</a> or <a href="/campuses/city-campus">City</a> campuses, along with your enrolment form, and complete a Debit Success Payment Plan Agreement with Student Administration staff.
If you intend to use a bank or credit card account other than your own for the payment plan, you must also present with the account holder to have the agreement co-signed by the account holder.
<h3>Remotely/Online</h3>
You can indicate as part of your offer acceptance that you wish to access a payment plan, by ticking the payment plan box. Once you have accepted your offer, Student Administration will set-up a payment plan specific to your enrolment, and email a link for you to finalise it online.
If you intend to use a bank or credit card account other than your own for the payment plan, the agreement must be co-signed by the account holder.
If you are under 18, you must also have authority from your parent/guardian. This will enable direct debit of weekly or fortnightly payments from your nominated bank account to commence within 14 days.

The Tertiary Access Payment helps eligible students with the costs of moving from regional or remote areas for tertiary study. Students who move from inner regional areas get a one-off lump sum of $3,000. Students who move from outer regional and remote areas get up to $5,000 in 2 instalments.
Moving away from home can be expensive, so the TAP aims to help ease those costs.

TAP is for eligible students studying a full-time course that is Certificate IV or higher with a minimum length of at least one academic year, and with their study being at any point in the 12 months immediately after finishing Year 12 or equivalent.
To be eligible for the TAP, you will need to meet some further eligibility criteria. Read the full list and find the program guidelines at <a href="https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/tertiary-access-payment">https://www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/tertiary-access-payment</a>
