Fees

OUA course fees are:

• Among the lowest university distance education fees in Australia
• More reasonable than on-campus equivalents
• Cheaper than many private training providers

Australian citizens may be able to defer costs using the FEE- Higher Education Loans Program (FEE-HELP), which means you do not need to pay unit costs upfront. Instead, the total cost of your unit fees can be repaid through the taxation system.

Under current legislation, you don't make repayments until your income reaches a minimum threshold of A$39,825 per annum.

Contact a SEEK Learning consultant if you need more information about OUA course fees or FEE-HELP.
