HELP stands for Higher Education Loan Program, which is a loan scheme provided by the Australian government to help students cover the cost of their tuition fees.
Repayment of the HELP debt is based on the income of the borrower and starts once their income reaches a certain threshold.
The repayments are made through the Australian tax system, with the amount deducted from the borrower's income before they receive it. The amount of the repayment is calculated as a percentage of the borrower's taxable income, with higher earners repaying a greater percentage of their debt.
This episode provides some tips on how to reduce this type of debt.
