The Institute is an approved Higher Education Provider by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR). This means you can choose to pay your subject fees via the Fee Help system. Fee Help is a government loan scheme that assists eligible students to pay their tuition fees.

If you choose to pay your subject fees using Fee Help, the Australian Government pays the amount of the tuition (subject) fee to the Institute and you then repay the loan through the taxation system once your annual income exceeds the minimum amount (currently $43,151 per annum).

You can learn more about Fee Help from the following DEEWR publication: Fee Help Information – 2011.

Alternatively, you can pay your subject fees directly to the Institute each semester for the subject/s in which you enrol.

Whilst you can study internally or externally at AIP, external learning is now a very popular method to attain quality education in Psychology. It affords you significantly more flexibility (i.e. you can work and study), without compromising on a high quality education.

We understand that if you study externally you have unique learning needs.  Academic support for external students is easily available by phone, email and online through our Higher Education Learning Portal. Teleclasses, online discussion forums, online videos and learning materials, as well as an entire online library mean you can learn from anywhere.
