Having the status of a permanent resident

If an undergraduate student obtains permanent residence status in Australia after beginning a program and can demonstrate documentation of permanent residence status prior to the census date (of the trimester in which they are enrolled), the student will be assigned a domestic fee-paying slot.

If the student meets the requirements for transferring from a domestic fee-paying to a Commonwealth-sponsored place as provided in the Undergraduate Programs Admission Policy, the student may apply for a Commonwealth-sponsored place during the next admission season.

If a postgraduate student obtains permanent resident status in Australia after starting a program and can show proof of permanent resident status before the census date (of the trimester in which they are enrolled).

The student will be automatically considered for a Commonwealth-supported place (subject to availability) or a domestic fee-paying place, whichever is appropriate for the program.
