Reduce Student HECS-HELP Debts

My Plans

Reducing student debts can make education more accessible and ease financial stress on graduates. I would voice for:

  1. Lowering HECS-HELP Indexation – Adjust or cap indexation to prevent excessive debt growth.
  2. Raising the Repayment Threshold – Ensure graduates start repaying only when they earn a comfortable income.
  3. Targeted Debt Forgiveness – Offer relief for students in essential sectors like healthcare and education.
  4. Interest-Free Student Loans – Remove or reduce interest to prevent debts from ballooning.
  5. More Government-Funded University Places – Reduce reliance on loans by lowering tuition costs.
