Future fee adjustments

For future years of your course, Monash University reserves the right to adjust annual tuition fees. However the University undertakes that any adjustment factor will not exceed 6% per annum and will be applied on the 1st of January each year for that calendar year.

Amenities fee

All students are required to pay a compulsory University amenities fee. This fee, which is paid each semester, contributes to the provision of student services and facilities. Amenities fees vary depending on your campus of enrolment, work load per semester and mode of study.

FEE-HELP

Australian citizens and holders of a permanent humanitarian visa enrolled in an accredited postgraduate award program can choose to pay their tuition fee in three different ways:

  • pay the full tuition fee up front; or
  • receive a FEE-HELP loan for the full tuition (up to $50,000); or
  • pay a portion of the tuition fee up front and receive a FEE-HELP loan for the remainder of the tuition fee.

FEE-HELP replaced the Postgraduate Education Loan Scheme (PELS) under the Higher Education Support Act 2004. Under the FEE-HELP scheme, students can borrow up to $50,000 in tuition fees and make loan repayments through the Australian taxation system when their annual income reaches the minimum threshold, which is currently $36,000.

Who is eligible?

Australian citizens and holders of a permanent humanitarian visa enrolled in an accredited postgraduate program are eligible for FEE-HELP assistance. FEE-HELP is not available to New Zealand citizens and holders of other permanent residence visas. These students must pay their program fees up front without a discount.
