Higher threshold for regional student HELP repayments

Summary of proposal

The proposal would amend the income threshold for repayment of the Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) debt for students studying courses at a recognised regional campus.

Repayments would then continue as per the legislation.

The proposal would have effect from 1 July 2018.
