Is financial assistance provided to
students aged 25 years and over that are intending or are doing an
approved course of full time study or undertaking
a New Apprenticeship full-time. The courses that qualify for
Austudy
payments are generally,
secondary education courses, graduate courses (excluding most Masters
and all Doctorates), undergraduate courses, associate diplomas and TAFE courses. If your
disability impacts upon the load of study that you can undertake concessions
on the study load requirements are available.
If your disability affects your ability to study full time you may still
be eligible to receive Austudy
as long as your workload does not
fall below 25% of the normal full time load.
