Australia Government Announced $10.4 Billion (AUD 16 Billion) Student Loan Debt Reduction (One-Off 20% Reduction) to Benefit 3 Million Australians with Student Loan Debt Based on 1st June 2025, Reduction Applies to Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) or Student Loan Debt
10th August | Hong Kong
The Australia Government has announced a $10.4 billion (AUD 16 billion) student loan debt reduction (One-off 20% reduction) to benefit 3 million Australians with student loan debt based on 1st June 2025. The reduction applies to Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) or student loan debt. Announcement (Currencies in AUD): “The Australian Government’s Universities Accord (Cutting Student Debt by 20 per cent) Bill 2025 has passed Parliament. The legislation reduces Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) or student loan debt by 20%, and makes HELP and student loan repayments fairer. This one-off 20% debt reduction measure will benefit over 3 million Australians with a student loan debt. This will remove over $16 billion in HELP and other student debt.This is in addition to the $3 billion in debt that was removed through the Government’s changes to cap the indexation applied to student loans to the lower of the Wage Price Index or the Consumer Price Index. This means that indexation will never be higher than the changes in wages. The indexation and debt reduction measures will reduce total HELP and other student loan debt by around $20 billion … … Reducing HELP and other student loan debts by 20% means Australians will have less student debt to pay back. This measure recognises that many Australians are doing it tough and will take pressure off the costs that Australians have to budget for. It will particularly help younger Australians, with around 70% of people repaying a HELP debt being 35 or younger. This is a critical time for saving, considering first home buying and supporting or starting a family … … After legislation receives royal assent, the ATO will apply the one-off 20% reduction. Individuals will not have to do anything. The 20% reduction will be calculated based on what a person’s HELP debt amount was as at 1 June 2025, before indexation was applied. This means that indexation would apply only to the remaining loan debt balance e.g. after the HELP debt has been reduced by 20%.”
