FEE-HELP for Australian Students FEE-HELP is an Australian Government loan scheme that assists eligible fee-paying students to pay part of, or all of their tuition fees.
As an approved Higher Education provider, Curtin College is eligible to offer FEE-HELP places for its Diploma programs.
Australian citizens and holders of permanent humanitarian visas are eligible for FEE-HELP assistance.
The following students are NOT eligible for FEE-HELP and must pay their fees upfront:
- New Zealand Special Category Visa (NZ SCV) Holders
- Permanent Visa Holders (other than holders of a permanent humanitarian visa)
- International Students
If you are commencing study of a Curtin College Diploma and wish to pay for part or all of your tuition fees through FEE-HELP, you must:
- read the FEE-HELP Information booklet,
- complete the FEE-HELP Questionnaire,
- complete the FEE-HELP Application form provided with your Letter of Offer,
- return these items with your Letter of Acceptance.
The Education Legislation Amendment (Provider Integrity and Other Measures) Bill 2017 was introduced into the Australian Parliament on 1 June 2017, and passed through the Parliament on 10 August 2017. As part of the Bill all students will have to maintain a minimum pass rate, relevant to the number of units they are enrolled in (not their academic pass rate), to continue using FEE‑HELP for their studies.
