Student Contribution Rates
Student contribution rates for Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) students are calculated per subject and depend on the Field of Education (FoE) of that subject, rather than the program you are registered in. You can find the FoE for each subject in the Handbook.
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. Use these rates to estimate your study costs.

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 programs 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 in 2027
The professional pathway will mean the student contribution for subjects under specific disciplines will be at a cheaper rate.
Fees for the below FoEs will be $1,235 per 10 credit point subject ($9,880 per EFTSL) in 2027:
- 0907 - Behavioural Science subjects studied within degrees in psychology
- 0905 - Human Welfare Studies and Services subjects studied within degrees in social work, youth work, counselling and community work
If not for the Professional Pathways, the subjects would have been $2,253 per 10 credit point subject ($18,025 per EFTSL).
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, $8,457 per EFTSL ($1,057 per 10 credit point subject).

The Associate Degree in Applied Policing is offered in partnership with the NSW Police Force to domestic undergraduate students as a full-fee paying place.
This means students enrolled in this program will be provided with set fees each year. This program does not offer any Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) and students do not follow the Student Contribution Rates.
Australian Citizens, Permanent Humanitarian Visa Holders and eligible New Zealand Citizens can apply for FEE-HELP to defer their tuition fees to the ATO, or pay their tuition upfront by the census date.
