Funding Clusters and Indexed Rates

The Job-ready Graduates Package commenced on 1 January 2021 resulting in changes to the funding for Commonwealth supported places.

This means that the amount students pay toward some courses – usually deferred through a HECS-HELP loan – changed from 1 January 2021.

We encourage both current and new students who commenced studying from 1 January 2021 to talk to their current or intended higher education provider to confirm how these changes may affect their individual circumstances. Further information about these changes can be found on the Job-ready Graduates Package page.
