What the fee covers: an international full fee-paying place — the 2026 indicative full-time fee for 1 EFTSL (120 credit points). Fee year: 2026. English requirement as published: IELTS 6.0 overall, no band below 6.0 (or equivalent). Before you budget: the page's International tab states 'International full fee-paying place — 2026 indicative full-time fee: $41,400'. The page lists a 16 November 2026 intake as well as 1 March 2027, and the November one matters because it falls inside the 2026 fee year. For a 2027 start, Federation states that fees are reviewed annually and the 2027 rate is not published on the page, so treat AUD 41,400 as a floor rather than the price. The fee is described as indicative and based on a typical first-year enrolment. Two years at the 2026 rate is about AUD 82,800 in tuition.
