Course Costs

Financial assistance is available to cover study costs.

Public universities

Commonwealth supported places

Commonwealth supported places (CSP) help you pay part of the course fee, with the Commonwealth Government paying the rest. What you pay varies between providers and courses.

Our Course search will tell you if CSP places are offered in a particular course, and its estimated cost. Once you have enrolled, your institution will tell you the exact student contribution details.

Public universities and Christian Heritage College offer courses with CSPs.

Currently, Australian and New Zealand citizens, New Zealand Special Category Visa holders and Australian permanent residents are eligible for a CSP. 

There are also requirements about where you reside during your studies, depending on your citizenship status.

Visit the Commonwealth Government’s StudyAssist website for more information.

Unique Student Identifier (USI)

The Australian Government is extending the Unique Student Identifier (USI) to higher education. 

  • From 2021, new higher education students (domestic and onshore international) will need to apply for or hold a USI before census date.
  • New students applying for Commonwealth financial assistance will be required to provide their USI on their Commonwealth Assistance Form (CAF or eCAF), to be able to receive financial assistance (like a HELP loan).
  • By 2023, all tertiary students (including those who commenced prior to 2021) will need to have a USI to be able to receive their award. This means if you plan to graduate in 2023 or after, you will need a USI.

To apply for a USI click here.
