This information is for providers that were approved for VET FEE-HELP, which operated between 2008 and 2016.
On this page:
The VET FEE-HELP scheme closed in 2016. In 2017 the VET Student Loans program replaced it.
The VET Student Payment Arrangements (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act 2021:
- ended the Commonwealth’s obligation to pay providers VET FEE-HELP amounts for a student unless the provider confirmed the student’s liability for tuition fees by specified deadlines (30 June 2021 and 31 December 2021)
- permitted the Commonwealth to offset VET FEE-HELP amounts owed to it by VET providers against FEE-HELP and VET Student Loan amounts payable to the provider
- on 1 July 2021, revoked the approval of all remaining providers that operated under VET FEE-HELP.
This means that providers are no longer able to report new VET FEE-HELP loan amounts.
VSL providers who were formerly VET FEE-HELP providers can make adjustments to VET FEE-HELP data. However, this is only to be undertaken in exceptional circumstances.
If you do not have access to TCSI and need to make necessary adjustments, or if you have queries relating to VET FEE-HELP payments, please contact the department using the online enquiry form at Provider Enquiries.
