Secondary school students
If you miss travel without a valid reason we can still rebook your travel. However, you may get a debt of up to $100 for each trip you miss.
Secondary students not at a secondary school and tertiary students
If you miss travel without a valid reason, we won’t rebook or pay for the same trip in advance.
You’ll need to book and pay for your own travel. Keep in mind, you may need to pay us back for the trip you missed.
If you book and pay for another trip, you can apply to us to reimburse you. We’ll check if you’re still eligible for ABSTUDY Fares Allowance. If you are, we’ll pay you back.
