Pay for your course

At TAFE NSW, we provide a range of easy and flexible options to make paying for your course simple.

You can pay for your course as a student or through a nominated third party such as your employer or a registered job provider.

You can pay your fees in the Student Hub using a debit or credit card (American Express is not accepted), or you can request an invoice and pay by BPAY.

Make a BPAY payment at least 3 days before your course starts to ensure we receive it before your first day.

Cash is not accepted.

Once your enrolment is confirmed and you have paid your fees, you can:

• attend and take part in training
• sit for exams
• receive awards
• use TAFE NSW facilities and services
• get a TAFEcard to access library resources.

Read on to find out about paying in instalments and how to set up a payment plan. Also learn about refunds, course withdrawals and what happens when you pay fees late.

For some TAFE NSW courses that are 3 months or longer, instalment plans are available.

An instalment plan allows you to pay for your course in instalments over the duration of your study.

Find out more about paying your fees in instalments on the paying fees webpage.

If you have outstanding fees, go to the Student Hub to make a payment, or contact us on 131 601 to discuss your payment options.

You’ll need to pay any outstanding fees or fee instalments to continue your course and access training materials and services.

All fees must be paid before you can receive your graduation documents, including your testamur and transcript.

If fees remain unpaid, TAFE NSW may refer your account to debt recovery.

Third party payment defaults

If your employer or another third party stops paying your student fees, you are responsible for paying the amount owing.

The same applies if your employer or third party breaches the terms of the agreement.

If you want to continue studying, you will be responsible for any course fees.

We understand you may need to withdraw from, or defer your study.

If you want to withdraw from your course or request a refund, you need to let us know in writing.

Your eligibility and refund amount depend on several factors.

Students considering withdrawing from their studies should contact their teacher, head teacher or course coordinator to discuss support and alternative pathways to continue study.

If you have an instalment payment plan

If you pay in instalments and want to withdraw from your course, a partial refund may be available if you’ve made payments in advance.

See our withdrawals and refunds page for more information.

If you still need help, call us on 131 601 or visit us on campus for all other enquiries.
