The combined HELP loan limit is a cap on what you can borrow from the Australian Government to cover the costs of your tuition fees. The HELP loan limit replaced the previous FEE-HELP limit from 1 January 2020. It includes HECS-HELP, FEE-HELP, VET FEE-HELP and VET Student Loans. Only new HECS-HELP borrowing counts towards your HELP limit; however, any existing FEE-HELP, VET FEE-HELP or VET Student Loans that you have already borrowed before 2020 will be carried over.
