The government reviews the CSP fees for university subjects every year. From 2021, there are new funding clusters and student contribution amounts. However, if you began your studies prior to 2021 but are continuing in 2025, you are protected from any fee increases. If a subject you are enrolled in has a fee increase, you won't pay the new fee. Instead, you'll pay the fee from the previous year when you enrolled (this is called 'grandfathering'), with existing rates indexed to the Consumer Price Index each year. If you are enrolled in a subject that has a fee decrease, you will only pay the new, lower fee.

Under these arrangements, students who commenced their course of study before 1 January 2021 face increased student contribution amounts for a unit, will instead have their student contribution and Australian Government contribution amounts remain as they were under the previous arrangements (with existing rates being indexed by CPI each year).

If continuing students who commenced their course prior to 2021 are enrolled in units that will see their student contribution amount lowered, their student contributions will be the lowered amount and the Australian Government contribution will be the new rate.

That is, there will be no 'mixing' of old and new rates for a unit.
