When to claim
You can get Fares Allowance after your journey or we can pre-book your travel for you.
To claim Fares Allowance for pre-booked travel or a reimbursement, you can either:
- complete the claim for Fares Allowance tertiary students only form
- visit a service centre.
You’ll need proof of your travel, including an itinerary and tax invoices.
You can call the students and trainees line for more information, if you get:
- Austudy
- Pensioner Education Supplement
- Youth Allowance.
Wait for the results
If you get a reimbursement, we’ll pay it into the same bank account as your student payment.
You have the right to appeal our decision. Read about reviews and appeals.
