Fees Information

Fees – costs and payment

All students at universities in Australia pay fees.

Most students at public universities contribute to the cost of their tertiary education through payment of their Student Contribution Amount (fees) which can be deferred onto the Commonwealth Government’s Higher Education loan Scheme HECS-HELP.

From 2005, under new legislation, all Australian students enrolled in an approved course at The University of Notre Dame Australia will have access to a Commonwealth loan scheme, either FEE-HELP or HECS-HELP. 

The FEE-HELP limit in 2010 is $106,328 for medical students and $85, 062 for all other students . This has increased from the 2009 limit of $104,142 for medical students and $83,313 for all other students. Students will not be required to commence repayment of their loan until their income reaches $43,151 in the 2009/2010 financial year. This amount will be amended through a CPI indexing calculation each year.

Since 1999, the Commonwealth Government has provided an increasing number of fully funded Commonwealth Supported Places (CSPs) for Notre Dame students. These places are allocated to the Broome Campus and to Fremantle and Sydney students enrolled in the Tertiary Enabling Program, pre-service Teaching, Nursing and graduate Medicine.
