Ep #114 – HECS changes now live, higher borrowing capacity April 10, 2025

In our previous episode, we flagged some important changes on the horizon for HECS assessments — and as of this week, those changes have officially gone live.

For anyone with student debt, this is big news. Borrowing capacities have now increased, in some cases quite significantly — especially if your HECS/ HELP debt will be repaid within the next 1 to 5 years.

So what does this mean for your property plans? How do the new rules work in practice? And who stands to benefit the most?

Tune in as we break it all down.
