Supporting Australians Fact Sheet
The Australian Government is providing more support to Australians.
More about the support
Tax cuts
New individual income tax rates and thresholds means that from 1 July 2024, all taxpayers in Australia received a tax cut. For most taxpayers, tax cuts will be reflected in take-home pay each payday. Some taxpayers will receive their tax cut when their tax return is lodged and processed. These tax cuts do not impact your 2023-24 tax return.
Student loan relief
The Australian Government has proposed changes to student loans, so that Australians with an existing loan will pay less overall.
What are the proposed changes?
The Government is proposing changes to how indexation is calculated for Australian Government student loans.
Indexation is applied annually to an individual’s outstanding student loan debt to reflect the changes in the cost of living.
The adjustment is applied on 1 June each year, by an amount determined by the change in the Consumer Price Index (CPI).
The student loan changes will make the indexation rate determined instead by the lower of the CPI or the Wage Price Index (WPI).
This change will ensure that indexation will never grow faster than the average wage.
