If you have been offered a Commonwealth Supported Place you must submit an Online Commonwealth assistance form (eCAF) for each course you enrol in.
Hint
This step does not apply to international students. If you are an international student you should move to the next step.
Understanding your options
Make sure you understand whether you are eligible for HECS-HELP or FEE-HELP and the payment options that are available to you. You need to have decided which payment option to take before completing the form. Visit the Student Services website for detailed information about HELP and completing your eCAF.
QUT requires that you submit your Commonwealth assistance form online before you enrol in units for the first teaching period of your course.
Tax file number
If you request Commonwealth assistance you must provide QUT with a valid Tax File Number (TFN). For Tax File Number information contact the Australian Taxation Office.
If you have not received your Tax File Number within 10 days of the census date, you will need to provide QUT with a copy of your Certificate of Application for a TFN .
Electronic Commonwealth Assistance form (eCAF)
When you first enter the Online Enrolment portlet in QUT Virtual you will be prompted to complete your eCAF before you can continue. Follow the link to access your form.
You may be prompted to re-enter your username and password. From the next screen select the Request for Commonwealth Support Form link displayed below your current course.
Read the form carefully, complete each question that is relevant to you and submit when finished.
Hint
Make sure you complete question 11 correctly by indicating how you intend to pay your student contribution.
Once you have correctly submitted your form you will receive a confirmation email.
Accessing your eCAF later
If you need to check or update your form later you can access it from the Request for Commonwealth Support portlet within the Study page of QUT Virtual.
