What is meant by a low-income student?
Many students experience difficulty with the costs of living and studying. These financial difficulties arise from having limited income (eg reliance on Centrelink benefits or low-wage work) and having lots of expenses (eg caring for others, high accommodation costs and/or transportation, high medical costs etc). All these factors are taken into consideration when you apply, rather than simply an income test. There is no income threshold as each application is considered independently, taking into consideration the economic and social situation of each individual.
