2025 grandfathered contribution amount* $997

Grandfathered contribution amount - if you are a continuing student, who commenced your course before 1 January 2021, you will continue paying the same amount as you would have, had legislative reforms not been implemented, for any units that would otherwise have an increased student contribution amount.

Domestic postgraduate tuition fees are course-based annual fees, which means individual unit fees vary according to the degree.
