Higher Education
Contribution Scheme (HECS)
The Higher Education Contribution Scheme (sometimes
referred to as the graduate tax) came into effect on 1
January 1989.
Unless exempt from the provisions of the scheme all
students enrolled in the Higher Education Division have to
make a contribution to the cost of their studies. In 1993 the
annual charge was $2,328.00 for a full-time student (or
$1,164.00 for each full-time semester).
Part-time students pay a contribution in proportion to their
full-time load.
Students have the option of:
(i) Making a contribution 'up front' in a lump sum
(thereby attracting a 25% discount), or
(ii) Paying the contribution gn a deferred basis through the
taxation system, or
(iii) Making one partial payment 'up front' (minimum
$100.00) and having the balance collected via the
taxation system. Partial payments will not attract a
discount. If permission is given to make more than one
partial payment a handling fee may be charged.
Students have an opportunity each semester of changing
their options.
Students exempt from the scheme include:
those who have paid fees to Swinburne for a
postgraduate course in accordance with Cornmonwalth
guidelines;
those enrolled in a non-award course;
those fully sponsored under a foreign aid program;
full-fee paying overseas students;
students otherwise subject to Overseas Student Charge
arrangements;
holders of a HECS postgraduate scholarship.
All exempt students must lodge a Payment Options form by
completing the exemption declaration section on the form.
Proof of exemption will be required.
Further details about the Scheme are available from the
Student Administration Office.
For refund information see page below.
HECS refunds
HECS refunds will be made to upfront payees where a
student withdraws from the course on or before 31 March
for semester one and 31 August for semester two. Students
who require a refund must apply to the HECS Officer,
Student Administration. A copy of the receipt must be
