Fees Free 

The current key facts for 2025 students are:

• Students need to pay for their fees upfront; through Studylink or themselves.

• If you’re eligible, Fees Free covers the fees for the final year of tertiary study or training in the first qualification you complete after 1 January 2025, up to $12,000 including GST.

• Fees Free will only cover the final year of one qualification. If you didn’t use $12,000 entitlement for the final year of your first qualification, you won’t be able to access Fees Free again for a second qualification.

• Students will be able to confirm their eligibility and claim their Fees Free entitlement after they complete their qualification, using the myIR portal which will be available to use from early 2026. Until then, they don’t need to do anything.

Key facts for students that have used Fees Free in 2024:

They may be able to continue to use their remaining first-year fees free entitlement in 2025 if they:

• Are continuing study or training towards the same qualification in 2025 as you were in 2024, and have Fees Free entitlement remaining.

• You will be able to access your entitlement until the end of 2025, or until you reach 24 months (work-based learning), one EFTS (provider-based study), or up to $12,000 (including GST), whichever occurs first.

If you have remaining entitlement, you will not be able to access Fees Free in the future if you:

• Did not use Fees Free in 2024, or used Fees Free in 2024 but are not continuing in the same qualification in 2025.
