MDHS Graduate Certificates

Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) in the following Graduate Certificates have been made available through the Commonwealth’s one-off funding of short courses for the 2021 academic year.

With a CSP, the Australian government subsidises your tuition fees, which lowers the total amount you pay. You may also defer your fee payment through the HECS-HELP scheme if you're eligible. For more information about the difference between CSP and full-fee places please visit studyassist.gov.au.

Under the Commonwealth government’s arrangements for these courses, a CSP provided by this one-off grant is only for the 2021 academic year. Therefore, if you are successful in securing a CSP and do not plan to complete your entire course in 2021 the remainder of your subjects will be billed on a full-fee basis.

Available for eligible domestic students only. Places are limited.
