A Commonwealth Supported Place is a higher education place available for domestic students for which the Commonwealth makes a financial contribution. Students are required to pay a student contribution amount for each unit of study undertaken.
A Non-Commonwealth Supported Place can be offered to a domestic student who is not Commonwealth supported for a unit of study. These students pay tuition fees.
An international student is any student who is not a domestic student. Such students must pay overseas student fees. The Commonwealth does not make a contribution to the cost of education for international students.
