What is a Commonwealth Supported Place?
A Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP) is a course where Deakin receives some funding from the Australian Government. This means you’ll only need to contribute part of the cost of your course – this is referred to as the ‘student contribution’. Make sure to check if you’re eligible for a CSP.
Did you know you can study now and pay later?
Don’t let fees hold you back from achieving your goals. Not only can you get a Commonwealth Supported Place, if you meet the eligibility criteria and would prefer to defer your student contribution, you can apply for HECS-HELP. Use our fee estimator to gauge what your fees could be per year.
