Chapter 4—Repayment of loans

Division 129—Introduction

129‑1  What this Chapter is about

      Loans that the Commonwealth makes to students under Chapter 3 are repayable under this Chapter. Loans that the Commonwealth makes to students under Schedule 1A or (before 1 July 2019) under the VET Student Loans Act 2016 are also repayable under this Chapter.
      Each loan is incorporated into the person's accumulated HELP debt (see Part 4‑1).
      Under Part 4‑2, the accumulated debts can be repaid in 2 ways:
         • a person may make voluntary repayments; or
         • compulsory repayments (based on a person's income) are made using the system for payment of income tax.
      Accumulated HELP debt, or the indexation of that debt, may be reduced for certain HELP debtors working in rural, remote or very remote areas (see Divisions 142 and 144).
Note: Loans that the Commonwealth makes to students under the VET Student Loans Act 2016 on or after 1 July 2019 are repayable under that Act.

Part 4‑1—Indebtedness

Division 134—Introduction

134‑1  What this Part is about

      A person incurs a HELP debt if he or she receives, as HECS‑HELP assistance, FEE‑HELP assistance, OS‑HELP assistance, SA‑HELP assistance or STARTUP‑HELP assistance, a loan from the Commonwealth under Chapter 3.
      A person also incurs a HELP debt if he or she receives, as VET FEE‑HELP assistance, a loan from the Commonwealth under Schedule 1A.
      A person will also have incurred a HELP debt if (before 1 July 2019) the Secretary used an amount of a VET student loan approved under the VET Student Loans Act 2016 to pay tuition fees for the person.
      HELP debts are incorporated into the person's accumulated HELP debt. This accumulated debt forms the basis of working out the amounts that the person is obliged to repay (see Part 4‑2).
Note: If the Secretary uses an amount of a VET student loan approved under the VET Student Loans Act 2016 to pay tuition fees for a person on or after 1 July 2019, the person incurs a debt under that Act.
