What fee's apply?
If you are eligible for a subsidy, the set subsidy amount will be paid by the Queensland Government upon successful processing of your enrolment. Our friendly team will assist you to determine your eligibility and complete your enrolment as simply as possible.

The Queensland Government makes it compulsory for education providers in the Career Boost program in the Diploma of IT, to charge a student fee, which is called the “Co-contribution fee”. This means that all RTOs offering that program under the SAS program, must charge a Co-contribution fee.

The Government requires a Co-contribution fee because the increased benefits of advanced-level training, such as improved job opportunities and higher earning potential. The fee represents total costs to the student for the qualification, including materials costs. You will not be charged more for tuition or materials. You could be charged for ad hoc administrative matters requested by you, such as re-issue of a parchment (certificate). That sort of fee is set out in our Administrative Fees Schedule. However, all of your learning materials and tuition are covered by your Co-contribution fee.

The Co-contribution fee for non-concessional card holders in Queensland is $1,490 for non-concession applicants and $371 for concession applicants.



How can you pay the Co-contribution fee?
If you think you may be eligible for a funded place, you will need to let us know how you would like to pay your portion of the total fee: up front payment, or payment by instalments (a payment plan).

We will never ask you to pay more than 30% of your Co-contribution fee up front.
