Course Fees

Gestalt Therapy Brisbane is a small private provider of higher education. It relies solely on student fees to deliver its courses and to manage its operations. It is the intent of the directors of Gestalt Therapy Brisbane to match fees to the level that will ensure the delivery of a high quality program.

Adjustments will be made to the fee structure each year as is deemed necessary.

Students may pay their fees directly to GTB or if eligible take advantage of the Commonwealth Government’s FEE-HELP loan scheme.

Tuition Assurance

The TPS is an initiative of the Australian Government to assist domestic higher education students if their education provider is unable to fully deliver a unit of study and/or their course of study to their students.

The TPS is a placement, refund and loan re-credit service for students who are affected by a provider closing or ceasing to deliver a course.

For domestic students the TPS will provide students with the option to either:

  • receive help to find a suitable replacement course, or
  • receive a loan re-credit for incomplete units.
