Learn more about Paying for TAFE. 

Co-Contribution and Co-Contribution Concessional Fee

Some government-funded training programs, such as Career Start and Career Boost, require students to contribute to the cost of their education through a co-contribution fee.

More details on eligibility and exemptions can be found on How to Apply for TAFE Certificates and Diplomas.
