If the duration of the course is less than one year or if you study less than a standard full-time load, fees are adjusted accordingly. The University reviews fees each year.

Australian Fee Places
When you apply, you will automatically be considered for an Australian fee place if you meet course entry requirements.
You’ll pay tuition fees for each year that you are enrolled. Tuition fees are calculated according to your course and study load each semester. You may defer payment of your fees via the Australian Government’s FEE-HELP loan scheme if you are eligible.
If your course is relevant to your current employment, you may be able to claim fees as a work-related tax deduction.
Tuition fees may be adjusted each year.
FEE-help
FEE-HELP can cover all or part of your tuition fees. The Australian Government pays the amount of the loan direct to the University. You’ll make repayments through the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) whenever your income is above the threshold, or you can make voluntary repayments to the ATO at any time.
FEE-HELP is not means tested and there is no loan fee for graduate study. If you already have a HECS-HELP loan from your undergraduate studies, you can still access a FEE-HELP loan. No interest is charged on your FEE-HELP loan, however, it is indexed each year with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in line with the cost of living.
The Government’s Study Assist website provides more information about FEE-HELP.
Other financial assistance
The University's Student Financial Aid Service can provide you with advice and information on student loans and bursaries/grants, cost of living, budgeting and tax advice.
Scholarships
Melbourne has one of the most generous scholarship programs in Australia. Scholarships, prizes and grants can propel you to new heights and help you explore new opportunities.
With over 1200 scholarships and prizes available for new and current students, it’s more than likely there is one that you’re eligible for. Here are just some of the scholarships available at Melbourne.
A number of scholarships covering part of the tuition fee for the course are available. The scholarships are open to students whose practice research will, in the selection committee's opinion, contribute to the clinical practice of family therapy (work with families, groups and/or communities) in Australia.
The Scholarship Application Form should be completed and uploaded at the same time as making an application for a place on the course, so that the selection committee has all the information it needs to fully evaluate the scholarship applications.
