Fees are unique to your study plan and individual circumstances and are payable for each semester of study.

There are two main types of fees which may be charged:

  • Tuition fees – these are set by the State Government and calculated on the category of enrolment.
  • Resource fees – these cover materials such as workbooks and products purchased by SM TAFE which are required for your course. In addition to these fees, you may need to purchase textbooks, uniforms and other course specific equipment.

There’s also a non-refundable College Discretionary Fee of $20 that is charged per year (as a contribution to security and other onsite facilities) if you study on campus (incl. Apprentices and Trainees and students completing short courses and skill sets).  If you study online, there’s no additional fee required.

See the course page study options for your preferred study style and location, and for a table of fees showing general tuition or concession tuition fees if available, plus resources fees payable. Other charges may apply.

See the list available for download below showing indicative fees for apprenticeship or traineeship study.
