Overseas financial assistance

If you’ve received financial assistance from DFAT

When you sign the Deed accepting financial assistance from DFAT, you're agreeing to repay the loan within six months of the date of the completed Deed. If you experience financial hardship, you can apply for a repayment plan to pay the debt by instalments. You must contact us within 6 months of receiving the load to qualify for a repayment plan.

If your loan falls due while you’re still overseas, contact DFAT to discuss the payment options available to you.

For questions about repaying your debt, contact loan.repayments@dfat.gov.au.
