Have a Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card?

Australian Apprentices with a current Health Care Card, Pensioner Concession Card or Veteran's Gold Card are entitled to receive a 50% fee reduction on eligible courses.

If you are under 18 and your parents hold one of the above cards, you will also be eligible to receive a 50% fee reduction if you are listed as a dependent.

To have a concession applied to your student account, you must:

Show your current Health Care Card, Pensioner Concession Card or Veteran's Gold Card at any CIT Student Services. *

AND

Request that your concession be applied to your account BEFORE all outstanding fees have been paid.

*Alternatively - submit electronically from the "Express Plus Centrelink" app you can provide a screenshot of your "Digital Wallet" Health Care Card and email it as an attachment to infoline@cit.edu.au.

If you have a physical Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card, you can take a photo and attach it in an email to infoline@cit.edu.au.

Don't have a Health Care Card or Pensioner Concession Card?

Australian Apprentices who don't have a current Health Care Card, Pensioner Concession Card or Veteran's Gold Card, may still be eligible for a concession. You can provide evidence (in the form of payslips) demonstrating you are a low income earner or apply for financial hardship circumstances.
