Student Contribution Rates
Your student contribution amount will be calculated per subject and is dependent on the Field of Education (FoE) of that subject, not the program you are registered in. To find out the Field of Education (FoE) of each of your subjects, visit the Student Handbook for each individual subject.
The Student Contribution amount for each FoE is outlined below. It details the amount for an equivalent full-time study load (EFTSL) for one year for each FoE and the approximate amount per a standard 10 credit point subject.

Professional Pathways in Psychology and Social Science
As part of the Job ready Graduate package (JRGP), the Australian Government introduced new “professional pathways” for psychology and social work (including youth work, counselling and community work) degrees, from 2021.
What is a professional pathway degree?
Professional pathway degrees are those degrees in psychology and social work that are accredited by an accrediting body and lead to professional employment.
A Professional Pathway Psychology degree is accredited by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC)
A Professional Pathway Social Work degree is accredited by the:
Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW)
Youth Workers’ Association (YWA)
Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and/or the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA)
Australian Community Workers Association (ACWA)
Fees for professional pathway programs?
The professional pathway will mean the student contribution for subjects under specific disciplines will be at a cheaper rate.
Behavioural Science subjects studied within degrees in psychology:
- will be $9,314 per EFTSL ($1,164 per 10 credit point subject) in 2025. If not for the Professional Pathways the subjects would have been $16,992 ($2,124 per subject).
Human Welfare Studies and Services subjects studied within degrees in social work, youth work, counselling and community work:
- will be $9,314 per EFTSL ($1,164 per 10 credit point subject) in 2025. If not for the Professional Pathways the subjects would have been $16,992 ($2,124 per subject).
The above fee charges for relevant subjects in professional pathway degrees are only applicable to commencing students from 2021. Students who commenced prior to 2021 will be grandfathered, meaning they continue to pay the pre-2021 subject rates, $6,804 per EFTSL ($850 per subject).
