IMPACT Community Services is a Skills Assure Supplier (SAS), delivering subsidised training on behalf of the Queensland Government.
Eligibility for Queensland Government funding is assessed through the enrolment. Funding availability, student eligibility and co-contribution fees may change without notice.
If you're enrolling in a government-subsidised course, you're required to pay a co-contribution fee toward your training. The amount depends on your funding stream. Please refer to the relevant section below for more details.
Find out more about Queensland Government funding options here.
Your course is supported by the Queensland Government, which means most of the cost is covered. You’ll only need to pay a co-contribution fee. This fee can be paid by you, your employer, a family member, a friend, or another organisation. In some cases (such as Skilling Queenslanders for Work programs), the co-contribution fee may be covered under specific funding arrangement. However, IMPACT Community Services is not able to pay or waive this fee.
Co-contribution fees per unit:
Fees are charged per unit of competency. If you’re eligible for a credit transfer or gap training for a unit, you won’t be charged for that unit, and your total fee will be reduced.
The table below shows unit fees and estimated total co-contribution fees based on full course completion.
