    VET Student Loans (VSL)

    This course may be eligible for a VET Student Loan — a Commonwealth income-contingent loan that lets you defer some or all of your course fees, similar to HECS-HELP. VSL applies to eligible Diploma-level and above courses only. Loan caps and eligibility depend on your citizenship/residency status and the specific course. Confirm your eligibility and loan cap directly with the provider before enrolling.

    Fee-Free TAFE

    This course is part of the Fee-Free TAFE initiative, a joint Commonwealth–state program that removes or reduces student fees for a set number of places in priority courses and skill sets. Places are limited and allocated by the provider, so availability isn't guaranteed even where a course is listed. Contact the provider to confirm a fee-free place is currently available to you.
