Austudy Payment is an income support payment available to qualifying students aged 25 or older. It provides income tested assistance to full time students who are Australian permanent residents and citizens studying in an approved tertiary course.
Youth Allowance is a similar support payment paid to eligible sixteen (16) to twenty-four (24) year olds who are undertaking full time study in approved courses and/or are looking for work. This allowance is means tested against parental and family income.
Austudy/Youth Allowance application forms can be obtained from Centrelink.
If your Austudy/Youth Allowance is approved, the Admissions Department must be advised so that notification can be placed on your student file.
