Frequently Asked Questions

Which universities in Australia are government-funded?

Government funding for these courses typically applies through TAFEs and registered training organisations (RTOs) rather than universities, since the qualifications here range from Certificate III to Diploma level. Whether a specific course attracts government funding or subsidy depends on the provider and the state you live in. You can check funding status against each listing, or read more about government-funded course options to see what applies to you.

Are these courses actually free?

Government funding depends on the provider and the state you're in, so "free" usually means subsidised rather than a zero-dollar price. Some government-funded courses on this page carry reduced or no fees for eligible students, while others still involve out-of-pocket costs. You can see funding status listed against each course, or read the guide on whether a government-funded course is right for you before enquiring with a provider.

How long does it take to complete a government-funded course?

Government-funded courses in this group typically run from three months up to two years, depending on the qualification level. A Certificate III generally takes less time than a Diploma, and part-time or online study can extend the timeframe. Choosing on-campus versus online study can also affect how quickly you finish, so it's worth checking course details before enrolling.

Can I study a government-funded course online?

Yes, government-funded courses in areas like community services and social work are available both online and on-campus through TAFEs and RTOs. Online study can suit people balancing work or family commitments, while on-campus study may offer more hands-on practice. Availability depends on the specific course and provider, so compare formats before choosing.

How do I apply for a government-subsidised course?

Applying for a government-subsidised course usually starts with confirming your eligibility with the training provider, since rules vary by state and qualification. You'll typically need to provide identification and evidence of residency or citizenship status before enrolling. For a clearer walkthrough, see the step-by-step guide to applying for a government-subsidised course.
