What are VET Student Loans?
VET Student Loans for Higher Education is a Government loan scheme that helps eligible students pay their tuition fees for higher-level vocational education and training (VET) courses (at the diploma-level and above). These courses must be provided by authorised providers. Eligible students can apply for a loan to pay for their fees; they can apply for any amount up to the capped amount supplied by the Commonwealth Government’s VET Student Loans scheme.
VET Student Loans began on 1 January 2017, replacing the VET FEE‑HELP scheme.
International and domestic students
Many colleges offer courses to both international and domestic students, so if you’re also a Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS) provider, you will need to comply with the ESOS National Code 2007. If this applies to you, we offer the same solution but also include the CRICOS suite of add-ons.
Our team is committed to ensuring a hassle-free experience for your institution. For further VET Student Loan (VET FEE Help) provider guidelines and assistance, please don’t hesitate contact us.
