Tuition and administrative fees
Understanding your tuition and administrative fees is an important step in planning your studies. Whether you're a domestic or international student, this section will help you to see what fees apply to your courses.
You can use the tabs below to view details based on your student type or fee type.
Commonwealth supported places (CSP) are government-subsidised places where you pay a reduced fee (called the student contribution) and the government covers the rest.
Most domestic students starting a bachelor’s degree - and some in postgraduate programs - are eligible. If you're not eligible, you'll be offered a fee-paying place instead.
Student Learning Entitlement
The Student Learning Entitlement (SLE) limits how much study you can do in a Commonwealth Supported Place. From 1 January 2022, students are given 7 years of full-time study, and your balance decreases as you complete courses.

Domestic students in fee-paying places do not receive a Government subsidy and are responsible for the full cost of their studies. Domestic tuition fees vary depending on the subject area of each course.
Eligible students in a fee paying place may defer payment of their tuition fees using the Higher Education Loan Program (HELP).
Domestic tuition fees are set by the University and are reviewed annually.
