It commenced operation on the 1 July 1998. Students below the age of 25 years are paid Youth Allowance. In general, to qualify, one must be an Australian resident, over 25, and studying full-time at an approved education institution.

From 1 July 1998 to 31 December 2007, Austudy Payment recipients were not entitled to Rent Assistance.
