It’s good to know what HECS-HELP and CSP mean. Here is some basic information you need to know.
For all eligible undergraduate, diploma and some postgraduate courses, the Australian government funding contributes towards most of your program. These are called CSPs.
CSP will not apply if you have competed the requirements of the course of study and has taken the additional units which are not part of the course of study.
Find out more about the Commonwealth supported places (CSPs) on the government website.
After government funding has been contributed to your degree, you’ll pay the remainder, known as your student contribution amount.
If you are eligible, this amount can be paid up-front at the beginning of each session or defer the payment with a HECS-HELP loan (if eligible) from the government.
Visit the Job-ready Graduates Higher Education Reform Package government site to find out how your CSP fee will be affected by the Job-ready Graduate package.
From 1 January 2020 a combined HELP limit for students was introduced for those using HECS-HELP and FEE-HELP. See more information about the combined HELP limit.
If you do exceed your limit, you will be required to pay the excess fees up front to the University. This may also mean that your account will be sanctioned and there will be restrictions placed on your enrolment and grades.
Domestic and international students can save time and money if eligible for a scholarship or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). There is also financial help for domestic students and some support is available to international students.
