98: Commissioner's powers in relation to due dates

You could also call this:

“The government can't change when you pay back your student loan anymore”

The Commissioner’s powers to change due dates for repayments have been removed. This means that the government official who used to be able to change when you had to pay back your student loan no longer has that ability. This change happened on 29 March 2013, but it applies to student loans from 1 April 2012 onwards. If you have a student loan, this might affect when you need to make your repayments.
