Any money available in your redraw – whether its $10 or $10,000 – reduces the balance owing on your home loan. This means you'll be paying less interest on your home loan. You can make additional one-off lump sum payments or regularly pay more than your minimum required repayment.
Redraw from a personal loan
Redraw is only available on extra amounts you've repaid above your minimum monthly repayments. Redrawn funds will be debited to your loan account and will incur interest on the same basis as principal owing.
The bigger question is usually the decision between using an offset account or a redraw account. It's almost always better to use an offset account, as it gives you more flexibility to use the funds without affecting the potential tax deductibility of the associated loan.

Yes. Any month when your scheduled payment under an income-driven repayment plan is $0 will count toward PSLF if you also are employed full-time by a qualifying employer during that month.
Why does my available redraw fluctuate? Your available redraw is the difference between your loan balance and scheduled limit. As interest is calculated daily and charged to your loan at the end of each month, your available redraw will sometimes appear lower until your next repayment is made.
While the funds in your offset account may contribute to reducing the interest charged, a repayment is still required to pay off the balance. It is important to note that if your offset account balance exceeds your home loan account balance, you won't be paid interest on the excess amount.

Paying down your principal – A redraw facility is a good option if you're able to make extra repayments and are focused on paying off your mortgage principal quicker. Occasional lump sum access - Redraw facilities are a great feature if you only need access to your funds now and again.
The maximum redraw amount is the largest amount you can withdraw at any one time. In most cases this is equal to the total of additional repayments you have made. So if you are $3,000 ahead of your minimum loan repayment you can redraw $3,000.

Offset accounts are typically more expensive to own than most types of loans. The interest rate is usually higher, and there are also bank fees and charges that come with your account.
Ideally, the more money you can put into your offset account and consistently keep it in there, the better.

Having funds available in redraw reduces the balance of your home loan that interest is calculated and charged on. With an offset account, interest is charged on the difference between your home loan balance minus the amount in your linked offset account.
A redraw facility offers an effective way to save as it reduces the principal and interest you'll be paying in the long run. The interest rate on your mortgage is bound to be much higher than any interest earnings you could potentially make in a savings account.
