International student fees
If you are an international student, you will be paying the international fee rates.
Below you'll find the Higher Education course fees for commencing and continuing current students.
More information about international student fees can be found by visiting international compliance or visit the AskCDU database for FAQs.
Commonwealth Supported place
If you are enrolled in a Commonwealth supported place (CSP), a portion of your fees will be subsidised by the Government and does not need to to be repaid.
The remaining portion of your fees, known as the student contribution, is your responsibility to pay. Eligible students can use a HECS-HELP loan to help cover these costs.
How do I know if I'm eligible for a Commonwealth supported place?
To get a CSP you must be one of the following:
- an Australian citizen, who will complete some of your course of study while resident in Australia; or
- a New Zealand citizen; or an Australian permanent visa holder; or an eligible former permanent humanitarian visa holder; who studies the entire course while living in Australia
Additional requirements
- have a Unique Student Identifier (USI) prior to the first census date (for new enrolments from 1 January 2021)
- have sufficient Student Learning Entitlement available (for new enrolments from 1 January 2022)
- not undertake more than 2 years' worth of higher education study within 12 months (unless your provider has approved you to take on more).
If you don't meet the citizenship or residency requirements as above, then you are not eligible for CSP.
Full fee courses
If you aren't enrolled in a CSP, you are a full fee-paying student. This means that the Government will not subsidise the fees. As a result, you'll be responsible for paying the full amount.
If you're eligible, you can access a FEE-HELP loan to help cover your fees.
