Austudy Loadings
If you wish to calculate your Austudy Loading (minimum 75%) please click on the Course Fees/Austudy Loadings link below and then select the course and year you wish to look at.
Course Fees/Austudy Loadings
Are you claiming Austudy?
There are a few things you need to be aware of . . .
-
The loading for each subject has been calculated for you and can be accessed via southernschool.com under ‘Course Fees/Austudy Loading’. You should ensure that your selected subjects add up to at least 75% prior to enrolment.
-
Do not assume that you are meeting your Austudy requirements simply because a certain number of subjects was OK in a previous semester.
-
To be eligible to claim an Austudy allowance, you must be undertaking a minimum study loading of 75%. This is calculated on contact hours taken as a percentage of contact hours required for that semester.
-
Centrelink does an audit each semester on all students claiming Austudy. Recently, some students have been asked to pay back past benefits.
-
Since Austudy was absorbed by Centrelink, very few of their staff have a thorough understanding of the system. This can lead to mis-information. If you request advice from a Centrelink staff member regarding eligibility of your study load, try to get confirmation in writing, or at least take a note of the date, the office location and their name.
-
If you are need further advice regarding your Austudy requirements, please make an appointment with Reception to see Cheryl Richter.
