Ease the pinch of moving for uni

Are you or someone you know moving this year to attend university?


Look into the Tertiary Access Payment (TAP).


A payment to help students with the cost of moving from regional or remote areas for tertiary study, the Tertiary Access Payment (TAP) is a one-off payment of up to $5,000.


It’s to help eligible students with the cost of moving to study.


This is for study after you’ve finished year 12 or equivalent.


To get the payment you need to meet some rules. These include moving from a regional or remote area for tertiary study, and starting tertiary study in the year after finishing year 12 or equivalent.


Regional areas are places that aren’t in or near a major city.


You can check if your family home is in a regional or remote area using the Student Regional Area Search.


You can claim this payment in your first year of tertiary study only.


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