A person who owes a debt to the Commonwealth under this Chapter may make voluntary SSL repayments.

The person is required to make repayments once the person's income exceeds the minimum repayment income under the Higher Education Support Act 2003 and the person has finished repaying any debt under that Act and certain other income - contingent loan schemes.

The amount of the repayments is based on the person's income.

The Commissioner makes assessments of repayment amounts, which are collected in the same way as amounts of income tax.
