What you need to check
This is for tertiary students (like uni or TAFE) who get Youth Allowance, Austudy or Pensioner Education Supplement. You must live away from home to study. It can pay for a trip at the start and end of the study year, and one return trip during the year. It does not pay for daily travel. ABSTUDY students use ABSTUDY Fares Allowance instead.
This is a short summary. Other rules may apply, like income or where you live. Check the full rules with the agency that runs it.
