The Tertiary Access Payment (TAP) in Australia is not means-tested. This means that eligibility for the TAP is primarily based on meeting the criteria related to moving from a regional or remote area for tertiary study and starting tertiary study in the year after completing Year 12 or an equivalent qualification.
Unlike certain other government payments and allowances that may have means-testing requirements based on income or assets, the TAP does not have such means-testing provisions.
However, it’s important to note that policies and eligibility criteria may change over time. To obtain the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding the Tertiary Access Payment and whether any means-testing provisions have been introduced, I recommend visiting the official government websites, such as the Department of Education, Skills, and Employment, or contacting the relevant government department directly. They will be able to provide you with the most recent and accurate information regarding the TAP.
