Apply online

Domestic and International students can apply online to the GDLP program. 

Late applications will be considered on an individual basis.

Pay as you go

The GDLP is a 'pay as you enrol' program. Invoices are generated based on the time you enrol, regardless of census dates or class start dates. Invoices will be emailed to your student email account and it is your responsibility to check this account regularly.  You will usually be given 21 days from the date the invoice was generated, to pay your account.

Should you have any queries relating to fees please contact the Fees Office on +61 2 6125 8124 or fees.officer@anu.edu.au.

The census date is the last date on which you can withdraw from a course or make changes to your enrolment without incurring a financial penalty.

Please note that if you are an international student, your offer for entry into the Program is conditional on the payment of a deposit and correct documents being supplied to the Admissions Office.

FEE-Help

The Federal Government operates a loan scheme called FEE-HELP to assist some postgraduate students with fees.

To apply for FEE-HELP you must complete an electronic Commonwealth Assistance Form (e-CAF) when you enrol online through ISIS. The step-to-step guide for enrolling onto ISIS  can be found here.

IMPORTANT NOTICE: You MUST lodge your application for FEE-HELP by Wednesday of your Becoming a Practitioner week in order for FEE-HELP to cover all program costs. There is no retrospectivity.

If you do not defer your fees to FEE-HELP by the GDLP course census date, the University will issue an invoice for the fees and you must pay these fees before beginning your study.
