When you enrol in a government-subsidised TAFE NSW course you will be required to pay the 'TAFE NSW fee', unless you qualify for a fee exemption or fee concession.
Only when your enrolment is complete and you have paid applicable fees will you be entitled to attend class, sit for examinations, receive educational awards, use amenities and services (including travel concessions and childcare places) or receive an active TAFEcard (which provides access to library resources, labs and elevators).
If you are receiving a benefit from Centrelink, you maybe entitled to a concession or exemption from this charge. On enrolment day you will need to bring with you proof of benefit or most recent letter from Centrelink with the date of the grant. A Health Care Card is NOT acceptable. This can be clarified by speaking with Student Administration staff.
If you are not receiving a Centrelink benefit but believe you may have difficulty paying the Administration Charge on the enrolment day, speak to Student Administration staff.
For Hunter TAFE commercial courses charges vary and you cannot apply for an exemption from the charge even if you are receiving Centrelink benefits.
Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students are exempt from paying the TAFE NSW fee.
