If you moved from home in 2024 to start your first year of tertiary study, you may be eligible to claim up to $5,000.
The Tertiary Access Payment (TAP) is a one-off payment to help you with the costs of moving from a regional or remote area to study in the year immediately after finishing year 12 or equivalent.
You could be paid:
$5,000 in 2 instalments if you're from an outer regional or remote area
$3,000 as one lump sum if you're from an inner regional area.
