International Fees
Upon accepting the offer of a place, parents are required to pay six-month’s tuition fees and the full visa-length overseas student health cover payment* within 30 days of the offer being made.

Accounts for fees will be issued twice a year. Fees are subject to change in the event of unforeseen circumstances.
