If you are a Domestic Tuition Fee (DTF) student it means your fees are not subsidised by the Australian Government and you are required to pay full tuition fees for your studies.
Most domestic postgraduate and non award students study in a full fee-paying place, as Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) for postgraduate students are limited. Your offer of admission will indicate if you have been offered a Domestic Tuition Fee (DTF) place or a CSP.
The amount of DTF a student must pay is determined based on the courses in which they enrol. Each course has a set tuition fee and the total tuition fees for all enrolled courses in a semester or session are added together and invoiced.
Domestic tuition fees are shown on the fees tab of the relevant course page on the website.
Students will be issued with an invoice via 小蓝视频Hub for each semester or session they enrol in. Invoices must be paid by the relevant payment deadline. Eligible students, who have completed a Commonwealth Assistance form, with outstanding tuition fees after the census date, will have the tuition fees deferred to FEE-HELP.
Domestic students who are required to pay DTF, and meet the citizenship and residency requirements listed below may defer part or all of their tuition fees to FEE-HELP. This is where the Australian Government pays tuition fees on your behalf and you pay the amount back through the taxation system or voluntary repayments. To be eligible for FEE-HELP, students must be:
- an Australian citizen who will study at least one unit of your course of study in Australia
- a New Zealand Special Category Visa (SCV) holder, or eligible former New Zealand SCV holder who meets the long-term residency requirements and who studies the entire course while living in Australia
- a permanent humanitarian visa holder or an eligible former permanent humanitarian visa holder who studies the entire course while living in Australia
- a Pacific engagement visa (PEV) holder who will be a resident in Australia for the duration of your unit(s)
- an Australian permanent resident who has been approved for bridging studies
Note: Some programs have additional compulsory costs, such as field trips, books, and equipment. These are not included in the DTF charge.
