Pensioner Education Supplement

1. introduction: 

The Pensioner Education Supplement helps with the ongoing costs of study in secondary or tertiary courses. 

Pensioner Education Supplement is available to some Centrelink and Veterans’ Affairs customers if they are also full-time students, or in some circumstances, part-time students. 

From 1 January 2014 customers receiving Newstart Allowance who are single and the principal carer of their children, will be eligible for the supplement, provided they meet all the other rules. 

2. Other eligibility rules

To receive Pensioner Education Supplement you must meet the following rules: 

·  Time limits—previous study may count towards how long you can receive the supplement for your new course. 

·  Residence—you must be an Australian resident, normally live in Australia and be in Australia on the day you lodge your claim. Newly arrived residents generally have to wait some time before payments can start, with some exemptions. 

·  Approved courses—you need to be studying an approved course at an approved institution. 

3. Payment rates 

Payment is usually $62.40 per fortnight but if you are studying part-time, you may receive a lower rate of $31.20 per fortnight. 

4. Proof of enrolment 

You may be asked to provide proof that you are enrolled in your course. If we need this information, we will ask you for it. 

5. Activity Test requirements 

If you are a single principal carer on Newstart Allowance and you have been granted Pensioner Education Supplement for your course, your study may count towards your Activity Test requirements. Speak to us or your employment services provider about this.
