What is FEE-HELP?
FEE-HELP is an Australian Government loan scheme for eligible students at approved providers like CG Spectrum. Your tuition is covered while you study. Repayments happen gradually through the tax system, and only once your income exceeds the government's threshold (currently $67,000 per year). Below that, nothing is owed.
Repayments only begin once your income exceeds $67,000 per year. If you're still studying, between roles, or earning below that threshold, nothing is owed. You repay when you're in a position to.

FEE-HELP is not a commercial loan. No credit checks, no interest. Your debt is adjusted annually for CPI, in line with the cost of living.
Who can access FEE-HELP?
An Australian citizen, or holder of a permanent humanitarian visa
New Zealand citizens and permanent residents are not eligible for FEE-HELP. If you're unsure, our admissions team can confirm your eligibility before you apply.
Enrolled in an eligible accredited program
FEE-HELP applies to our accredited bachelor's degrees, diplomas, and graduate certificates. Each course page confirms whether FEE-HELP is available for that program.
Under your FEE-HELP lifetime limit
The government sets a lifetime FEE-HELP limit (currently $129,883 for most students). If you've accessed FEE-HELP before at another institution, your remaining balance applies here.
Full eligibility criteria are set by the Australian Government. Check your eligibility at studyassist.gov.au
"I highly recommend signing up with CG Spectrum!
I was looking for a final push to bump my skills and finally start applying for jobs as an artist. Shortly after finishing my Advanced 3D Modeling Course I landed my first job as Junior Environment Artist, which was my dream!"

"My experience at CG Spectrum was second to none, and taught me so much more than I initially anticipated.
My mentor took me from being barely computer literate to an animator working at a studio in only a year and a half. The information and level of teaching at CG Spectrum will absolutely not be found anywhere else."
Kieran | Animation
"The CG Spectrum training solidified my skills using Unreal Engine.
Having used it briefly before, and feeling overwhelmed by how big the range is of what you can do using the engine, the training taught me the areas I would need for virtual production very well. I now feel confident with the skills I have gained."
Simran M | Real-Time 3D & Virtual Production
"I have never experienced such an explosive evolution in my art since attending CG Spectrum.
I have learnt an incredible amount, not only from my amazing mentor Eric Wilkerson but from the entire CGS community. Being part of such an amazing program has opened my eyes to techniques that have streamlined my process and increased my confidence tenfold."

"CG Spectrum seemed too good to be true. Looking back, it was the best decision.
Every mentor and staff member has been so hands-on and directly involved in my learning. Co-Directors of top box office movies and supervisors of major Netflix TV shows are giving me feedback on my projects. Students also have access to a strong community, and an awesome career class to prepare you for your dream job."
Stephanie S | 3D Modeling
"CG Spectrum is the perfect place to gain focus, understanding, an encouragement for your journey.
If you are looking for a supportive place to gain or hone skills in game design or other verticals, CGS is a fantastic and worthy place to dive in."

"I got a job offer at a major feature film studio before even graduating!
Studying at CG Spectrum gave me the opportunity to network with industry artists while I was learning, and coupled with the amazing course, I was able to secure a position in the industry. Now I'm working on amazing projects in my dream job!"
Andi E | 3D Modeling
"Hands down the best decision I've made for my career.
The learning material and staff were great, and having an industry mentor was an invaluable asset that really helped me get my break in the VFX industry."
