The Tuition Protection Service (TPS) is an initiative of the Australian Government to help international students and eligible domestic students accessing a VET Student Loan (VSL), FEE-HELP or HECS-HELP (HELP) loan, whose education providers are unable to fully deliver their course of study. The TPS ensures that these students are able to either:

• Complete their studies in another course or with another education provider or

• Receive a refund of their unspent tuition fees (international students) or a re-credit of their loan for open units of study (VSL and HELP).

More information and assistance with the TPS can be found on their website https://www.dese.gov.au/tps.
