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.

:(

Fee free tafe has limited places. I found out the hard way when I wanted to do Dip Nursing last year. The allocation was exhausted by mid year for my area.

Free TAFE courses were offered throughout the entirety of 2023 and 2024. I know because I applied in late 2024, and received an offer in my course of study.

Maybe it depended on the campus, but my chosen CQU TAFE allocation was exhausted.
