Claim up to $5,000 from the Tertiary Access Payment (TAP) now

Published: 13 January 2025

TAP helps you with the cost of moving from a regional or remote area. If you’re eligible, we’ll pay you after you confirm your study details.

You can still claim this payment if you get ABSTUDY, Youth Allowance or Relocation Scholarship in your first year of study.

You could get either:

  • $5,000 in 2 instalments if you’re from an outer regional or remote area
  • $3,000 as one lump sum if you’re from an inner regional area.

Watch this video from Ronald about how TAP helped him move away from home for the first time.

Follow these steps to claim the Tertiary Access Payment.
