Fees and CSP

Average full-course fee in 2026: From $13,704 (Commonwealth Supported Place)

The average full-course fee shown is calculated based on a full-time study load of 36 credit points.

Commonwealth Supported Places

The Australian Government allocates a certain number of CSPs to the universities each year, which are then distributed to students based on merit.

If you're a Commonwealth Supported Student (CSS), you'll only need to pay a portion of your tuition fees. This is known as the student contribution amount – the balance once the government subsidy is applied. This means your costs are much lower.
