Concession card holders
If you enrol in a Victorian Government subsidised course you may be entitled to a concession on your tuition fees if you hold a valid Commonwealth Health Care Card, Pensioner Concession Card, or Veterans Gold Card (or if you are the dependant spouse or child of the card holder). To claim the concession you must provide proof of eligibility at the time of enrolment. For further information contact our Administration Services team.
Payment plans
A range of fee payment options are available at Wodonga TAFE. Students entering into a payment plan are required to pay an application fee of $30 plus 10% of total course fees due at enrolment, followed by regular direct debit payments from a nominated bank account until final payment is received prior to completion of their course. Payment plans are not available for diploma/advanced diploma courses as the VET Student Loans scheme is available.
Deferment of upfront component of fees
If payment of the upfront component of your course fees will cause undue hardship in the short term you may apply to waiver the upfront fee component and incorporate this amount into the schedule of your direct debits. For further information contact our Support Services team.
Financial hardship
If payment of the full amount of fees will cause undue hardship for you or your family, you can discuss alternate financial options. If, after exploring all avenues of financial assistance, hardship is still evident you can apply to have part or all of your fees waived on the grounds of financial hardship. You must also provide relevant evidence. You will be required to put your case to a member of Wodonga TAFE’s executive team. For further information contact our Support Services team.
Student loans
The Wodonga TAFE Student Loan Fund is available to all students enrolled at Wodonga TAFE, and must be repaid within six months. Student loans cannot be used for payment of course fees. For further information contact our Support Services team.
