We provide fee payment options to suit financial circumstances. Concessional rates are available for eligible students.
Fees for Apprenticeships and Traineeships are available as a separate schedule.
In addition to course fees, resource fees are charges for materials that are considered essential to a course or unit of study and which do not form part of the course fee.
Resource fees are set at the unit level and the final resource fee charge for a qualification depends on the electives chosen, and will be calculated at enrolment.
Indicative 2023 tuition and resources fees can be found on each course page.
Your fees will be calculated from your individual circumstances at the time of enrolment.
Concessions (for eligible courses at certificate levels I to IV) and annual course fee caps may apply. Other charges may apply.
