Students who receive a Commonwealth benefit or allowance may be eligible to pay a Concession fee per course enrolment per annum, rather than the full TAFE NSW fee. Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander students are exempt from paying the TAFE NSW fee. Students in receipt of the Disability Support Pension or students with a disability (clients of a Teacher/Consultant) are entitled to one full-fee exemption for one TAFE NSW course per year.
