Fees

All Australian and NZ citizens, and Australian permanent residents are offered a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP).

The Master of Teaching 2012 CSP fees are $5648 per year ($2824 per semester).

Australian citizens can choose to pay fees upfront (with a 10 per cent discount), or defer payment to the tax system via a HECS-HELP loan. This is arranged on enrolment day. Bring your tax file number with you. Permanent residents and NZ citizens do not qualify for HECS-HELP and need to pay upfront.

All students paying upfront will be sent an invoice shortly after enrolment.
