Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF): All courses of 8 hours or more attract a Student Services and Amenities Fee. DVLC would like to encourage students to study more than one subject, therefore the SSAF will be waived for the second concurrent course. A maximum SSAF of $100 for three or more courses per semester in 2008 will apply.

There are three tiers of Tuition Fees for funded courses:

Standard Rate: For students who are not in any of the ACFE priority groups ^^ or not eligible for concession.

Concession Rate: For holders of Health Care, Pension and Veteran's Gold Cards. A current card must be shown at enrolment and details recorded on enrolment form. In accordance with state government policy for funded courses, DVLC charges one Tuition Fee for the year ($55) plus SSAF for each additional ACFE-funded course.
