Reforms to student income support and new Commonwealth-based scholarships.

On 18 March 2010, the Government introduced new reforms to increase access to, and better target, income support for students who need it most, through a fairer and more equitable allocation of existing resources. As a result of these changes, from 1 April 2010, you may now be eligible to access this support for the first time.
  • If you are receiving Youth Allowance, Austudy or ABSTUDY you may be eligible for the Student Start-Up Scholarship.
  • If you are receiving dependent-rate Youth Allowance or ABSTUDY and have to move away from home to study you may be eligible for the Relocation Scholarship.
Changes have also been made which will mean more students will be eligible to receive Youth Allowance or ABSTUDY.

Continuing Students who have been in receipt of the Commonwealth Education Costs Scholarships and Commonwealth Accommodation Scholarships will continue to receive these scholarships under a grandfathering scheme set up by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations.

To find out how these reforms might affect you, visit:

  • Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR) website.
  • For Commonwealth scholarships contact Centrelink on 13 24 90 or visit the Centrelink website.

Student Equity Laptop

The Equity Laptop Scheme and Education Costs Bursary Scheme are funded under the Higher Education Participation and Partnerships Program (HEPPP), a federal Government initiative to increase the tertiary participation of students from low socio-economic backgrounds. For more information check the Welfare and student liaison website.
