FEE-HELP (FEE Higher Education Loan Programme) is a loan facility for eligible students (ie, an Australian citizen or those who hold a permanent humanitarian visa) enrolled in fee-paying, postgraduate non-research courses.

FEE-HELP is similar to the deferred payment arrangements allowed to undergraduate students through HECS-HELP. It enables eligible students to apply for a loan from the Commonwealth Government to cover part or all of their tuition fees, and to defer repayment of the loan (CPI linked) until their income reaches the minimum payment threshold. The main difference is that the course fees the loan covers are not set within ranges stipulated by the government, but are each institution's discretion.
