Fees for students offered a CSP in the MFES in 2008 are $725/subject ($5800/annum full-time load) for subjects based at the Creswick campus and $907/subject ($7256/annum full-time load)for subjects based at the Parkville or Burnley Campuses. The total contribution required by students will depend on the subjects taken and the location at which those subjects are taught.

Students who accept a Commonwealth supported place do not have to pay their contribution fees immediately. Students may repay their loan through the tax system once their income is above the minimum threshold for compulsory repayment ($38,148 in 2007). This loan is known as HECS-HELP. Discounts may be available for upfront payments.
