Changes in student HECS debt repayment

The government provided loans to students who are struggling to repay them. The pressure of the cost of living further affects these education loan holders. Against this backdrop, the government has announced in the Budget 2024-25 that it will change the method of calculating total debt. Bavithra Varathalingham, who holds a master's degree in Australian politics and public policy, explains the changes announced by the government. Produced by RaySel.
