What's new in MyStudyLink?

20 February 2009

From the 15 December you can now apply for your course-related costs online using My Studylink.

No more claim forms, apply for your course-related costs online

Course-related costs are a component of the Student Loan scheme.  They can provide you with up to $1000. per year to assist with course costs like text books, course equipment, travel and childcare.

Course-related costs have previously only been available in a paper application.

From 15 December 2008, you will be able to apply for your course-related costs online using MyStudyLink. You will have the ability to:

  • apply for course-related costs
  • view the status of your course-related costs applications including payment date.

You don't have to claim all your costs at once, just specify how much you need. You can claim the balance at any time up until your course finishes. Remember you have to pay this money back, so only borrow as much as you need!

Course-related costs are paid directly to your bank account. The earliest we can do this is 14 days before your course starts.

Remember, you must be fully enrolled in your course for us to be able to pay any part of your student loan.

Apply for your course-related costs online using MyStudyLink.

MyStudyLink is a secure online tool that requires you to have an online account to access it. You can set one up by contacting us.
