FEE-HELP

You are eligible for FEE-HELP assistance for a unit of study if you:

• Are an Australian citizen or the holder of a permanent humanitarian visa AND you must be resident in Australia for the duration of your unit,
• Have an tax file number (TFN) or or supply a Certificate of application for a TFN, and
• Have not exceeded the FEE-HELP limit.

FEE-HELP can cover all or part of your tuition fees, i.e. you can choose to apply it to all or part of your unit of study debt. FEE-HELP provides a loan for tuition fees only, and does not cover additional text books, equipment, travel, tools, accommodation or general living expenses.

Other incidental charges apply to the following services provided by SITCM. These include:

• Printed copies of record books, work books, handouts, module books or other printed matter issued as part of the Training Material that are available online, or are lost or misplaced – $0.20 is charged per single sided print (b&w).
• Copies of Academic Transcript (Where first copy provided free of charge) $20.00.
• Copies of Formal Qualifications (Where first copy provided free of charge) $50.00.
• Student ID Card (Where first copy provided free of charge) $20.00
  Late Enrolment Fee: If a student enrols in a Unit of Study on or after the Start Date and prior to the Census Date, a late enrolment fee of 3% of tuition fee applies to the Unit of Study. The late enrolment fee cannot be deferred to FEE-HELP.

You start repaying your accumulated HELP debt through the Australian Taxation Office when your income is above the minimum threshold for compulsory repayment.

To apply, a Request for FEE-HELP Assistance form must be lodged before the Census Date. However if the form is lodged after the Start Date a Late Enrolment Fee of 3% of tuition fee will be charged per Unit of Study. This fee cannot be deferred to FEE-HELP.
