Student Fee

Strategix must collect a student contribution fee, it may be paid on behalf of the student by their employer or a third party unrelated to the Strategix, but cannot be paid or waived by Strategix, unless approved in writing by the department.

Invoices for students will be generated and sent to the client after students are approved for funding. The payment amount includes the compulsory Student Contribution Fees. Students will not be charged for individual subjects which are Credit Transferred or Transitional Gap trained.

When a student converts from a school-based trainee to a full-time or part-time traineeship, the student contribution fees will be charged for training and assessment for any units of competency not yet commenced. This does not apply when the student is under 21 and is undertaking a high priority qualification as identified by the department (refer to next page*).

** Students require a federal police nationally coordinated criminal history check to complete Individual Support. Students are not required to pay the fee for the check.
