The course fees you pay as a VET/TAFE student will depend on whether you are a domestic student with a government-subsidised place or full-fee place, or an international student.

Learner fee protection
Where Victoria University requires you to prepay your fees, either directly or through a third party, and in excess of a total of $1500 (being the threshold prepaid fee amount), your fees are protected under Schedule 6 of the Standards for Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) 2015.
If VU is unable to provide services, you will either be:
- placed into an equivalent course, such that:
- the new location is suitable; and
- you receive the full services for which you have prepaid at no additional cost; or
- paid a refund of any prepaid fees for services yet to be delivered above the threshold prepaid fee amount.
