University Fees
The fees a student is required to pay will depend on whether their enrolment is in a Commonwealth Supported Place (known as CSP) or a fee based place. Check Student Administration's website if you need more information about types of course places and the fees involved:
Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP)
Australian citizens, permanent residents, or New Zealand citizens, are eligible to apply for a government subsidised place known as a Commonwealth supported place (CSP). This means the government subsidises approximately two thirds of the course cost. The student is expected to pay the remaining cost.
Australian citizens and some holders of permanent humanitarian visas have the option of deferring the repayment of their part of this fee using a HECS-HELP loan. Once their income reaches a compulsory repayment threshold - usually when they leave University, repayments are then made through the taxation system. New Zealand citizens and all other Australian permanent residents must pay their CSP fees upfront each semester.
To find out more about CSP, visit the Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST) website.
The publication "Information for Commonwealth Supported Students" is at the DEST website.
Course Fees
Visit the Future Students website which contains information enabling you to ascertain the cost of your course.
Usually course fees are payable at the beginning of each semester. However, instalment payment plans are sometimes approved. For further information on these options visit the Future Students website payment arrangement page for Australian full fee students and International students.
Australian students paying full fees are able to defer payment on their course fees via the Government loan scheme FEE-HELP. Currently there are very few remaining local full-fee students at the University.
