All tertiary courses offered by the Australian Institute of Public Safety are Youth Allowance/Austudy/FEE-HELP approved.

TUITION FEES

The Institute offers eligible students the option of paying their tuition fees either directly to the Institute (up-front), or via FEE-HELP.

FEE-HELP is the equivalent of CSP (formerly HECS) for students undertaking full-fee paying courses at Universities, TAFEs and private providers. It is an interest-free loan from the Commonwealth Government that assists eligible students to pay their tuition fees.

Fee Refunds
Students are entitled, in certain circumstances, to receive a full or partial refund of fees paid, if they withdraw from one or more subjects, withdraw from the course, defer or take Leave of Absence, as long as timely formal notice is received. In the case of fees paid directly to the Institute, the refund will be actually paid to the student. In the case of FEE-HELP loans, this means that no FEE-HELP debt is incurred.

Tuition and Course Assurance
The Institute retains membership of a Tuition Assurance Scheme, the Australian Student Tuition Assurance Scheme (ASTAS), approved by the Commonwealth Minister of Education. This scheme is operated by the Australian Council for Private Education and Training (ACPET). ACPET is a national body which represents the interests of private education providers. For more detailed information about ACPET and this tuition assurance scheme, please refer to the ACPET website at www.acpet.edu.au.
