A variety of fee payment options is available.

  • Direct debit (payment plans)*
  • Cash/cheque
  • Credit card - Visa or MasterCard only
  • Direct credit (lump sum payment)
  • EFTPOS
  • Centrepay (for those eligible).

*For direct debit (payment plans) you will be required to pay an application fee equivalent to 5% of the total course fee. At the time of application for direct debit, and before your course commences, you will be required to pay a deposit of 25% of your total fees (including tuition fees, the SAF, and any materials or other fees), followed by regular direct debit payments from a nominated bank account until final payment is received (over a maximum six month period or planned completion of your course - whichever is the earliest). To enter into a payment plan you will need to complete a 'CF009 Direct debit request form'. In exceptional circumstances, we will accept 'over the counter' payments under a payment plan. However, a 'CF045 Payment plan (non-direct debit) general request form' must be completed and approved by your course coordinator.

Please note that if you withdraw from your course and are not entitled to a refund (please refer to refunds information), you will still be bound by your payment plan agreement and be liable for the remaining payments on your plan.

For diploma and advanced diploma enrolments, direct debit (payment plan) arrangements are only available for course enrolments that commenced before 1 January 2012, or for continuing students who enrol in an advanced diploma in the same industry stream as their diploma completed at Wodonga TAFE. For all other diploma and advanced diploma enrolments commencing on or after 1 January 2012, direct debit is not a payment option offered; however VET FEE-HELP assistance is available.

Where accessing VET FEE-HELP or upfront payment of fees will create financial hardship, please discuss with the teaching department manager or refer to the Financial hardship webpage for further information.

If your fees are being paid by a third party on your behalf (for example, an employer or government agency), you must provide a purchase order or a written and signed 'authority to invoice' from that individual, enterprise, or agency before your enrolment can be finalised.

Unpaid fees or debts

It is your responsibility to make sure that all fees and debts (including library fines, childcare or accommodation fees, and so on) are paid. If you have outstanding debts to Wodonga TAFE, you will not be allowed to continue your studies or enrol in any further courses. Wodonga TAFE engages the services of debt collection agencies to recover unpaid fees or debts and as such, reserves the right to recover these debt collection costs from you.

Other fees

If you have lost a qualification that has previously been issued by Wodonga TAFE, it can be re-printed and re-issued to you. There are charges associated with this process and payment is required before documents can be re-issued.

The cost of a re-issued qualification that you originally received before 2000 is $50.

The costs for re-issued qualifications that were originally issued after 2000 are as follows:

  • Accredited certificate $30
  • Institute-accredited certificate $30
  • Short course certificate $25
  • Attendance certificate $25
  • Statement of attainment $20
  • Student ID card $10.
