A list of the highest student loan debts across the country has left Australians absolutely gobsmacked, with many questioning how some of the figures are even possible.
Data from the Australian Taxation Office obtained by Sky News late last year revealed the highest individual HECS-HELP debts, with at least 50 people having debts over $250,000.
The data showed that, as of October 1, 2024, the person with the biggest HECS-HELP debt owes a whopping $831,675.53 in student loans.
This number could now very well be higher, given on June 1, 2025, indexation of 3.2 per cent was applied to all student loan debts.
The second highest amount on the list was $556,154, followed by $436,110 and $417,134.
