Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) fees

Find out whether you qualify for a higher education Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) and learn about the different types of course fees.

A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is one that is subsidised by the Australian Government. This means the Government pays part of your higher education course fee and you pay the rest (the student contribution amount). If you’re eligible for a HECS-HELP loan, you can defer this payment. All of our undergraduate and honours courses and many of our postgraduate courses offer CSPs. 

Eligibility

To be eligible for a Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) you must:  

  • be an Australian citizen
    OR 
    be a New Zealand citizen, Australian permanent visa holder, eligible former permanent humanitarian visa holder or Pacific engagement visa (PEV) holder who studies the entire course while living in Australia
  • have a Unique Student Identifier (USI) before the first census date 
  • have enough Student Learning Entitlement available. 

If you’re an Australian citizen, you must complete at least some of your course while living in Australia.

Your offer letter will indicate if you have been offered a CSP.
