You can use ABSTUDY Fares Allowance for travel between your usual home and where you live while studying.
You must be one of the following:
- a secondary or primary student
- a tertiary student
- a masters or doctorate student who doesn’t get Relocation Allowance
- a certain type of non-student traveller.
Watch our interactive video to find out how ABSTUDY can help you with travel.
Boarding schools and hostels with ABSTUDY students can also use Fares Allowance. Read about ABSTUDY Fares Allowance for boarding schools and hostels.
You can’t get this allowance if you’re an Australian Apprentice.
If you get Youth Allowance, Austudy or Pensioner Education Supplement, you may get a different type of Fares Allowance.
