Payment plans

Why choose a payment plan

If you're considering investing in your education there's no doubt you have other financial commitments you need to take into account. The great thing about a TAFE Queensland payment plan is that you don't have to pay a lump sum fee when you enrol. Instead, you can gradually pay for your course fees throughout the duration of your studies. 
 

Payment plan eligibility

To be eligible for a payment plan you must meet the following criteria:

• you are a domestic student and 18 years of age or older (or if under 18 have an appropriate guarantor who is over the age of 18);
• the tuition fees for your course or units of competency are $300 or more (exceptions may apply);
• you are not eligible for FEE-HELP;
• you are eligible for a VET Student Loan but are applying for a payment plan to cover the gap between the loan cap and the course fees;
• you have no outstanding debt with TAFE Queensland; and
• you have the financial capacity to meet the payment plan instalments.

If you have difficulty meeting the payment plan instalments please call our friendly customer service staff on 1300 308 233 who can discuss other available payment options with you. For example, you may be eligible for a scholarship or other subsidies.
