Payments to help with the costs of moving for study or training

Services Australia advised on 5 November 2026 that tertiary students and Australian Apprentices who need to move away from home for study, training or work may be eligible for extra support. Depending on the payment and personal circumstances, assistance may help with moving from a regional or remote area, rent, or travel between home and the place of study. Some assistance is paid automatically with an eligible student payment such as Youth Allowance, ABSTUDY or Austudy, while other support must be claimed separately. Students and apprentices should use the official Services Australia guidance to check eligibility and whether a separate claim is required before making financial commitments.
