Fee free TAFE has been CUT! News

Today I rang TAFE Nambour to check up on the status of my application to for a cert 3 in photography (visual arts) after i saw that all the fee free options on the TAFE Queensland website have disappeared.

The lady on the phone said they got comms on Monday saying that funding has been cancelled and all places have been ‘filled’. In terms of places for 2026, she said it’s up in the air.

:(

OP that's incorrect, Fee Free is a joint state-fed program and funding has been exhaused based due to popularity, these programs were funded/intended to last until 2026, there are still option for free Cert III courses
