Annual Fees and Payment Process

At the commencement of each academic year, all annual fees and charges are invoiced to families following the finalisation of class lists.

A comprehensive Annual Fee Statement will be emailed to families, accompanied by a Payment Options Form. This form will specify the due date for full payment, which is required to qualify for the Early Payment Discount.

For families opting to pay fees in weekly, fortnightly, or monthly installments, the Payment Options Form will outline the minimum periodic payment requirements to ensure the account is settled by the final due date.

To facilitate timely processing, the Payment Options Form must be completed and submitted to the Finance Office by the specified due date.

Insurance Coverage and Parent Responsibilities

Parents are strongly encouraged to review their health and general insurance policies to ensure they have adequate coverage for medical expenses (including ambulance services), personal property, and liability insurance.

All students enrolled at the College are covered under the Catholic Church Insurance Students Accident Insurance Policy. However, this policy provides limited coverage and specifically excludes all Medicare services, including the Medicare gap.

Please note that the College's insurance policy does not cover ambulance transportation. In the event that ambulance services are required for a student, parents will be responsible for any associated costs incurred by the College on behalf of their child.

For further details regarding student accident coverage, please contact the School Care Accident Helpline at 1300 138 498, quoting policy number 06.PAE.0157094.

Fee Payment and Debt Recovery Policy

The College is committed to supporting families experiencing financial hardship; however, we maintain a strict follow-up process for all overdue accounts. To ensure fairness to families who fulfil their financial obligations in accordance with the College’s fee policy, the College reserves the right to engage a debt collection agency or initiate legal proceedings for the recovery of outstanding fees.

All costs associated with the recovery of unpaid fees—including debt collection agency fees, solicitor costs, and any other expenses incurred by the College—will be the responsibility of the parent(s) or guardian(s).

By signing the enrolment form and accepting a place at the College, parents enter into a legally binding agreement to meet all financial obligations, including any additional costs incurred during the debt recovery process. Indemnifying the College against these expenses is a condition of enrolment.
