Fees are reviewed annually and may increase. Students who commenced a HECS liable postgraduate program before 1997 will be permitted to complete that program under HECS arrangements. Fees are charged according to the load in which a student is enrolled ie. Students who are required to repeat programs will be charged the full cost of the program again.
Students pay tuition fees by session.
Students enrolling in fee paying programs or as a non-award student are also liable for Student Activity Fees. Students who receive an award will retain it for the duration of their program.

They will be awarded to all eligible applicants who are Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents and New Zealand citizens. 28 January 2000 Successful applicants will receive a Confirmation of Enrolment that will confirm their HECS liability.
