All course costs paid by incoming students fall within one of two categories: tuition and non-tuition.
The Education Services for Overseas Students Regulations 2019 (Cwlth) include a definition for classes of tuition and non-tuition fees. This expands on the definition under s. 7 of the Education Services for Overseas Students Act 2000 (Cwlth). It provides clarification to help you meet your ESOS obligations.
The 2019 Regulations overview and the 2019 Regulations Q&A provide a policy overview of what has changed in the new Regulations, including information about tuition and non-tuition fees.
Calculating course duration
Primary, junior secondary and senior secondary courses are delivered to students over a year, or a number of years, so it is appropriate to calculate course duration on the basis of a 52-week period.
The course duration is linked to the Australian Qualifications Framework and does not differ between domestic and international students.
For example, to complete a course offering Years 8 to 10, the course would take three years, with a course duration of 156 weeks.
