All courses available in 2010 are Commonwealth-supported place (CSP) courses.

Under the Australian Government's Higher Education Reforms, universities now determine their own student contribution level for each band of study within ranges set by the Australian Government .

Listed below are the range of student contributions for 2009 admissions; these amounts are indexed each year.  Amounts are based on a full year of full-time study:

  • NATIONAL PRIORITIES (education, nursing, mathematics, science, statistics): Up to $4162
  • BAND 1 (humanities, arts, behavioural science, social studies, foreign languages, visual and performing arts): $Up to $5201
  • BAND 2 (computing, built environment, health, engineering, surveying, agriculture): Up to $7412
  • BAND 3 (law, dentistry, medicine, veterinary science, accounting, commerce, administration, economics, commerce): Up to $8677

Note that from 1 January 2010 the maximum annual student contributin for education and nursing studies will be inceased from the "National Priority" rate to the Band 1 rate.

Each semester most students will have a choice of either paying their student contributions up front or Australian citizens may request a HECS-HELP (Higher Education Loan Programme) loan and repay the loan later through the taxation system.
