• where your family home is
• where your course is
• what year of study you’re in.

You’ll get:

• $5,590 in the first year you need to live away from home to study
• $2,795 per year in the second and third years
• $1,396 per year after that.

If your family home isn’t in a regional or remote area but your course is

You’ll get:

• $5,590 in the first year you need to live away from home to study

If your family home and your course are in major cities

Even if they’re in different cities, you won’t be eligible for this payment.
