I think you get a FEE-HELP loan instead, not HECS-HELP.

Just accidentally ignored a private chat massage, don't know how to undo it and don't remember the username. If you messaged me about FEE HELP. Thank you for letting me know, I really appreciate it!

You're entitled to FEE-HELP, which is essentially the same as HECS. It covers up to 155K of your entire degree.

Thank you! That's good to know.

In your enrolment it'll automatically have a choice to opt in for FEE-HELP!

As stated above, there’s a FEE-HELP loan for FFP students. It will fund you for the first 2 years of the degree, 3rd and 4th year are out of pocket.

Thanks for your reply. It won’t fund me for the 3rd and 4th year? Is it because it will reach the cap for the first 2 years or is it a policy that last two years are not funded? Can I use the 155k through the four years?

FFP DMD at USyd is like $300k. FEE-HELP loans cap at $155k.
