Fees students can contact a Customer Service Centre to discuss a Time to Pay arrangement and/or Centrepay arrangement. If a student wants to access a Centrelink the program they are considering meets the Centrelink criteria. Students are liable for all payments, even if they discontinue their program. Debt recovery action will be taken to recover outstanding fees and students will be required to pay the costs incurred to recover the debt. Student awards may also be withheld until all fees are paid. Fee-for-service programs Fees payable on a fee-for-service program are charged on a cost recovery basis and no fee exemptions apply. A leveraged program, which is a mixture of fee-for-service and government funded study, may be eligible for fee exemption only on the government funded component.

The usual fees charged at enrolment will be made up of the student contribution fee, materials fees and annual administration and utility fee. The fees indicated on the Enrolment Selection Form are subject to change. Students should check at the time of enrolment for accurate fees. Payment of fees All fees are due and payable at the time of enrolment. Fees can be paid by cash, cheque, EFTPOS or credit card. If a student is unable to make payment in full at the time of enrolment they must advise a Customer Service Centre consultant so that options can be investigated.
