Study for less with postgraduate Commonwealth supported places
Postgraduate study is more affordable than ever. Now is the time to take advantage of Commonwealth supported places available for 2026 (meaning you pay a reduced fee for the course).
Places are limited, apply now so you don’t miss out.
A Commonwealth supported place (CSP) is a place at a university or higher education provider where the government pays part of your fees. This part is a subsidy, not a loan, and you don't have to pay it back.
This subsidy does not cover the entire cost of your study. The remaining portion is called the 'student contribution amount', a payment you need to cover. You may be able to access a HECS-HELP loan to help with these fees.
CSPs are only available to eligible domestic students, with a limited amount of CSPs available per course.
To get a CSP, you must meet one of the following criteria:
You can view the full criteria on the Study Assist site.
If you’re studying with us on an international visa, you’re considered an international student and must pay international fees.
