Tax invoices

No. If you have a $0 amount overdue, this means you don't have any fees currently owing and no payment is required.

We are legally required to issue you an invoice of your fees.

This also gives you the option of paying some of your tuition fees by your due date to reduce your loan amount. After your due date, your fees are transferred to your loan with the Australian Taxation Office. You may also have other fees and charges that need to be paid, such as the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) and material fees.  

All vocational education students eligible for a VET Student Loan will receive this notice with their tax invoice, even if they haven’t applied for a loan.  

If you have an approved VET Student Loan, this notice will indicate which fees are covered by your loan, as well as any fees that aren’t covered and need to be paid by their due date. If you don’t have an approved VET Student Loan, you will need to pay all fees by their due date.

Your VET Student Loan covers your tuition fees in two separate fee periods:

• Fee period 1 – 1 January to 30 June
• Fee period 2 – 1 July to 31 December

This means that tuition fees for courses with a due date in the current fee period will be covered by your VET Student Loan.

Tuition fees for courses with a due date in the next fee period will show as due charges on your invoice until that fee period commences. 

A new invoice, with an updated VET Student Loan Statement of Covered Fees and VET Student Loan Fee Notice, will be issued to you shortly before the commencement of each fee period, or when you add or drop a course, detailing the tuition fees that are now covered by your VET Student Loan.

You may have reached your program loan limit. Each VET Student Loan approved program has a loan limit. If your VET Student Loan limit doesn't cover the total amount of tuition fees for your program, you need to pay the difference by the due date.

Your program loan limit is stated on your VET Student Loan Statement of Covered Fees and VET Student Loan Fee Notice.

Check the list of approved VET Student Loan programs. If your program is listed it is approved to access a VET Student Loan. Select the program link to view fee information, including the annual VET Student loan program limit. 

Check your current balance in Enrolment Online. If you have any credit on your account, a new invoice can't be issued until the credit balance has been cleared. You have the option to apply for a refund of the credit balance, or leave it to contribute to your next semester fees.

Check the eligibility requirements for fee concession to ensure you’re eligible. You need to have applied for your fee concession on or before your first class start date for it to be applied to your classes.
