Concessions and Fee Assistance

Fee Assistance

Fee Assistance is a financial assistance program that can assist with course costs for eligible students who are experiencing financial hardship.

To apply, students must submit an online application form and supporting documents each time they would like support towards an eligible course cost.

* If eligible, CIT fee concessions are available in addition to Fee Assistance.

Further information, and the application form can be found at Fee Assistance. If you need additional assistance please see CITSA or CIT Student Services.

Fee Concessions

You should apply for a course fee concession at the time of enrolment or re-enrolment. If you are seeking a course fee concession:

  • Recent Income Statement - Centrelink form. These statements are available on request from Centrelink and must show your name, address, type of benefit and date benefit commenced.
  • Current Letter of Confirmation - Centrelink form. This is the letter sent to advise recipients of their Centrelink entitlements and payment arrangements. It must show your name, address, type of benefit, and date benefit commenced. CIT Student Services will check you are eligible to have a concession applied to your account.
