Fees and payments
Our pricing model
We operate on a tiered pricing model:
| Tier 1 | Payment by Queensland Health work units |
| Tier 2 | Payment by self-funded Queensland Health employees |
| Tier 3 | Payment by external participant or private organisation |
You will be assigned a tier and advised of any fees applicable during the enrolment process.
Fees must be paid in full prior to attending the activity. Please note, we are unable to offer 'time to pay' options.
Fee schedule
1 July 2024 – 30 June 2025
* GST applies - fee shown is GST inclusive.
Payment forms
Fees paid by Queensland Health work unit | Tier 1
If you work for Queensland Health, and your work unit is paying your fees, you will need to complete a payment authorisation form (PDF 213 kB).
Fees paid by self-funded students | Tiers 2 + 3
If you are paying for your fees, you will be given the opportunity during the enrolment process to authorise for an invoice to be sent to you. You will be able to pay for your activity on receipt of this invoice by credit card or BPAY. Please pay as soon as you receive the invoice, as your position in the activity is not confirmed until payment is cleared.
Fees paid by external organisation | Tier 3
If you do not work for Queensland Health, and your fees are being paid by your organisation, you will need to complete a payment authorisation form (PDF 213 kB).
RIPRN payments | All tiers
Please complete the RIPRN payment authorisation form (PDF 237 kB).
Other fees
Refunds
We are unable to grant refunds after an activity or course has commenced. Where a refund is granted prior to an activity commencement, administration fees apply (see refund guideline).
Replacement award
You can request an electronic copy of your award at no cost. Please contact your Course Coordinator.
A fee of $75.00 (inc. GST and postage) will apply to have a hard copy certificate re-issued or to re-issue the award in a different name. See the replacement award application form (DOCX 61 kB).
Re-enrolling in an activity after a withdrawal
If you withdraw from an activity prior to completion and wish to recommence your study at a later date, pro-rata re-enrolment fees will apply. These fees will take into account what effort is required by the Cunningham Centre to work with you to successfully complete your course of study.
If the activity is a workshop and you wish to attend another similar workshop you will be charged full fees unless otherwise approved by the Course Coordinator.
Costs associated with repeat activities or reissue of course materials
Particular aspects of some courses are expensive (e.g. workplace-based assessment, clinical placement which requires a payment, expensive resources). Your course fees will cover one attempt at those activities or one copy of those resources.
If you have to undertake that activity again because you did not successfully complete it the first time, you will be required to cover any additional costs associated with completing that activity again prior to it being undertaken. If you choose not to pay the additional costs, you will be issued results based on the evidence from the first attempt at this activity.
Similarly, if you request resources to be reissued because you have lost them, you will be required to cover the costs of reissue, including postage and labour time.
Specific details relating to costs associated with the course you’re enrolled in will be available in the course materials.
