2023 Indicative Fees
Fee Type: Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP)
$4,150 per certificate student contribution amount
This Certificate is 0.5 EFTSL (equivalent full-time study load) or 60 credit points. 1 EFTSL or 120 credit points is equivalent to a standard year of full-time study.
If you’re offered a Commonwealth supported place, your fees are subsidised by the Australian Government.
Your fees (student contribution) are set on an annual basis by the government and are determined by the discipline area and band of your individual enrolled courses, not the overall program. Each course (subject) falls into a band which determines the student contribution amount.
2023 annual student contribution amounts for 1 EFTSL range between $4,124 Band 1 to $15,142 Band 4. To find the Band and contribution amount for each course check the Sample Structure or refer to the 2023 subject listing.
Fees are adjusted on an annual basis and these fees should only be used as a guide. Total cost will vary depending on the courses you choose, your study load, the time it takes to complete your program and any approved credit you receive.
Fee assistance
You may be eligible to apply for a HECS-HELP loan, which can be used to defer payment of all or part of your student contribution. You may also be eligible to defer payment of your SSAF through an Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF).
