If you intend to defer the payment of all or part of your HECS contribution or if you fail to pay your contribution for a semester by the census date, you will need to quote your Tax File Number. You can obtain a Tax File Number Application Form from your nearest Australian Taxation Office. Further information Further information on HECS may be obtained from the booklet, HECS Your Questions Answered , which is available at higher education institutions, Centrelink offices and the Australian Taxation Offices. Payment is generally required up-front and there are no discounts . Most of the tertiary institutions in this category do not receive government subsidies for tuition fees.
Courses are therefore fee-based, with a range of flexible options.
In addition to tuition costs, students are required to pay student service and amenities fees. These fees are paid to the institutions and used to fund a variety of academic and non-academic services and facilities. The amount varies from institution to institution and campus to campus and is generally payable at enrolment. Successful applicants will usually be advised of the amount payable in their offer letter. You are advised to contact the institution for information regarding these costs.
