The concession rate is available to students who receive one of the following concessions:
- Austudy/Abstudy
- Youth Allowance
- Health Care Card
- 15-17 year old concession (students born in 1992, 1993 or 1994 are eligible for the 15-17 year old concession category. Proof of age will be required)
- Pensioner Concession Card
- Veteran Health Card.
To claim the concessional rate you must provide proof of your concession at the time of enrolment otherwise you will be charged the full cost.
The resource fee covers the cost of the materials/consumables used in each unit/module per semester. This fee does not include text books, and you may need to purchase additional materials.
These charges vary from course to course so please check with your academic area for further details.
In order to be considered as an enrolled student your fees must be paid in full as the time of enrolment.
Payment can be made by cash, EFTPOS, cheque or credit card.
Please note: students who have not paid their fees are not able to attend classes and their enrolment will be removed from the system.
Students experiencing financial hardship can apply to pay their fees in instalments using the Payment Form.
Students requesting to enter into an instalment plan must pay a minimum deposit of $100. All remaining fees must be paid in agreed instalments, within 8 weeks from the commencement of the semester.
Please be aware that when entering into an instalment plan, you are entering into a contract. Should you fail to pay the outstanding balance by the due date, the College's Governing Council has the right to cancel your enrolment.
Students experiencing severe financial hardship can apply to have their fees waived.
In 2009 applications to waive fees will cost $25. Application forms are available from Student Services at each campus.
