Fees for vocational study

Fee information for Australian residents studying vocational education courses, including certificates, diplomas and advanced diplomas.

Current RMIT students:

Visit the "Understand Your Fees" page for details on viewing and paying fees or contact RMIT Student Connect for assistance.

As a vocational education student at RMIT, how much you will pay will depend on whether you’re offered a Victorian Government subsidised place or a full-fee paying place. Students enroled in a government subsidised place may also be eligible for further fee concessions or fee exemption.

Fee information about:

Skills First program

Skills First is a Victorian Government program that provides eligible Victorians with access to government-subsidised training for vocational courses in growth industries.

Free TAFE for Priority Courses

Free TAFE is a core part of the Skills First government program, which gives eligible Victorians access to select qualifications and short courses, with no tuition fees.

Domestic full-fee places

A full-fee place receives no financial contribution from the Victorian Government. If you are not eligible for a government subsidised place, then you are considered a full-fee paying student.

Additional fees and expenses

In addition to your tuition fees, you may be charged with other fees throughout your degree.

Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF)

Your Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF) shapes student life at RMIT outside of the classroom.

The SSAF is used to maintain and enhance services and amenities that improve your experience as an RMIT student - from special events to career support, counselling and so much more!

Vocational education students are not eligible to apply for an SA-HELP loan and must pay their SSAF by the due date.

Material and other fees

You may be charged other expenses associated with your study in addition to tuition fees.

These include material and administrative fees.
