Fees and payments

As a university student, you’ll need to pay course fees throughout your program of study. Your fees will depend on your student type.

This page includes information on how to pay your fees for domestic university students only.

Paying your fees

  • When to pay your fees

    You’ll need to pay your fees by the due date listed in your fee summary to avoid cancellation of your enrolment. If you’re eligible to defer your tuition fees on a HELP loan, you need to submit your eCAF by your earliest census date.

    For more information on census dates, view the key dates section of our Calendars and timetables page.

    See below for more details on viewing your fee summary.

  • How to pay your fees upfront

    You can pay by Credit or Debit card, through the secure and convenient University Payment Gateway facility. Cash is not accepted.

    If you’re eligible to defer your tuition fees on a HELP loan and you wish to pay part or all of your fees upfront, you must ensure that payment is made by the census date. Payments received after the census date will not be accepted. If you’re unable to pay your fees upfront, you will be eligible for government assistance.

    4. Click on Make a Payment if you are paying all or part of your fees upfront.

  • eCAF

    To defer payment of your tuition fees through HECS-HELP or FEE-HELP, you’ll need to complete an electronic Commonwealth Assistance Form (eCAF). Even if you’re paying your fees upfront or enrolled in the Tertiary Pathway Program, you’ll still need to submit your form.

    You’ll need to complete the eCAF by the earliest Census Date of your course(s). If you don’t, you might need to pay the full fees upfront, or if you’re a Commonwealth Supported Student, your enrolment will be cancelled.

    If you’ve already completed an eCAF but are changing programs, you’ll receive an invitation to complete a new eCAF. Please complete the HELP Loan Opt-in Form to request to opt in for FEE-HELP eCAF.
