The federal government announced the Albanese government would raise the minimum repayment threshold for student loans and cut repayment rates to make the system fairer for those facing debts.

On Friday night it was revealed cash-strapped graduates will not have to pay back their student debt until they earn at least $67,000 in 2025-2026.

The benefit will apply to both university and vocational training loans, the government claiming the new policy would see the average HELP student debt holder save $680 in repayments each year.
