Starting tertiary study or work-based learning for the first time? You may be able to get Fees Free after you
complete your first eligible qualification or programme.
Fees Free covers the cost of your fees for the final year of study or final two years of work-based learning, up to $12,000.
When you enrol, you will need to pay your fees. To help you cover this cost, you may wish to apply for a student loan. Find out more at
Student loan – StudyLink.
