Frequently Asked Questions
What free courses are offered by the Australian Government?
There isn't a single fixed list, because government funding depends on the provider and the state you're in. Government-funded or subsidised places are often available for Certificate III, Certificate IV and Diploma level courses in areas such as community services and aged care. You can check which government-funded courses are listed on this page, or read Is a Government-Funded Course Right for You? before you enquire.
What courses are available through Centrelink?
Centrelink itself doesn't run courses, but it can connect job seekers to government-funded training in fields like community services, aged care and community development. Eligibility rules depend on your circumstances and the state you live in. It's best to speak with Centrelink directly or check with the provider to confirm whether a specific course qualifies for support.
Will Centrelink pay for courses?
Centrelink may support some government-funded or subsidised courses, but this depends on your individual eligibility and the provider you choose. Support isn't automatic for every course, so it's worth confirming directly with Centrelink or the training provider before enrolling. You can also read the Step-by-Step Guide to Applying for a Government-Subsidised Course to understand the process.
How long do government-funded courses take to complete?
Government-funded courses available to study in Australia typically run from three months to two years, depending on the qualification level. A short course can be finished in a few months, while a Diploma usually takes closer to two years. Actual timing depends on whether you study full-time, part-time, or through blended delivery.
Can I study a government-funded Diploma online?
Yes, many government-funded Diploma courses can be studied online, alongside on-campus and blended options through RTOs and TAFEs. The right mode depends on the provider and your personal schedule. If you're considering a Diploma, How Government Loans Work for Diploma-Level Courses explains how funding can apply at this level.
