Fees apply to most qualifications in accordance with the Department of Education and Training’s Fees and Charges policy guidelines.

Payment of Fees

In order to be considered as an enrolled student your fees must be paid in full at the time of enrolment.  It is your legal responsibility to pay these fees.

Failure to pay fees may result in:

• Refusal of admission to classes
• Results and awards being withheld
• Refusal to re-enrol until debt is paid in full
• Debt collection action being taken by the College at a cost to the student to recover the outstanding debt.

Payment can be made by cash, EFTPOS, cheque or credit card.

Financial Assistance

Students experiencing financial hardship can apply to pay their fees though a payment plan using direct debit.

Students requesting to enter into an instalment plan must pay a minimum of $100 at enrolment.  Students enrolling in 1 semester will have fortnightly deductions for a maximum of 12 weeks to pay total fees.   Students enrolling in a full year course will have a maximum of 24 weeks to pay off their total fees.

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.  Fee waivers must be applied for before enrolment and are not accepted once the semester has commenced.

If you have difficulties in paying your fees please contact the office on 9780 7219 to negotiate other arrangements.
