About us

The Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) is a specialist public sector practice providing a range of audit and assurance services to the Parliament and Commonwealth entities.

About Us

The ANAO could assess the administration of Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) debt and repayments. HELP allows eligible students to defer the up-front costs of study, with repayments made through the tax system only after their income exceeds a certain threshold. In 2024–25, total outstanding debt was $82.2 billion in 2024–25, with an average time to repay of 10.2 years. In 2025–26, the Government reduced outstanding student debts by 20 per cent, forgiving $16 billion in debt.
