    New student contribution bands

    Learn more about your student contribution amount.

    Commonwealth supported students are charged a student contribution amount for each enrolled course.

    Courses are allocated to a student contribution band according to their discipline. The student contribution amount for a course is calculated by multiplying EFTSL value of the course by the student contribution amount per EFTSL.
