The VET FEE-HELP scheme allows you to study now and pay for your course later. It is a government loan system which assists eligible local students undertaking certain courses to pay for all or part of their tuition costs. The debt is then re-paid through the taxation system once the graduate’s income is above the level set for compulsory repayment.

Study Group Australia Pty Limited is an approved provider of VET FEE-HELP. AIAS is a trading division of Study Group Australia Pty Limited, and some of our Diploma and Advanced Diploma courses are approved for VET FEE-HELP.
