13.01.2022 THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT HAS ANNOUNCED A TERTIARY ACCESS PAYMENT FOR YEAR 12 STUDENTS A one-off payment of $5000 will be available for school leavers from outer regional and remote areas to pursue tertiary study from 2021. The payment will help students to offset the costs of relocating, as part of a new package of initiatives to support regional students to undertake tertiary study. The Tertiary Access Payment is a one-off, non-indexed, means-tested payment of $5000 to scho...ol-leavers from outer regional or remote areas to undertake full-time, higher-level tertiary education. To be eligible students need to relocate more than 90 minutes from their home. The payment will give students an incentive to begin tertiary study immediately after completing secondary school, rather than taking a gap year in order to save money or qualify for other types of income support.
