Fees and Charges
DTWD requires students receiving funding under the PIT program to contribute towards the cost of their course/training, this is referred to as a Student Tuition Fee*. The fee may be paid on the students behalf by an employer or another third party (but not by Strategix). If the student/s are required to pay fees personally they will be given an itemised invoice.
*The Student tuition fees are indicative only and are subject to change given individual circumstances at enrolment. Additional fees may apply such as Student service and resource fees.
table here
Students receive an invoice at the commencement of each Unit of Study for the portion of fees relevant to the subjects included in the Unit of Study. Invoices only include the subjects commenced in that unit of study. Where a qualification delivery runs over multiple years, a student will receive updated invoice at the recommencement of study. Fees are calculated as per the Nominal Hours at the subject level.
For example, CHCCOM005 is 50 hours, the tuition fee applicable to a Non-Concession student will be $0.97 x 50 hours = $48.50.

Are under the care of the Chief Executive Officer of the Department of Communities; and
