In 2023, the Free TAFE Pathways initiative was introduced, enabling students to access additional Free TAFE courses if those courses are in the same Free TAFE Pathway.

The courses available under the Free TAFE Pathways initiative are listed below.

Students who completed a Free TAFE course that is now featured in the Free TAFE Pathways initiative, can now access additional Free TAFE courses in the same pathway.

This initiative only applies to Free TAFE courses specifically outlined below in the Free TAFE Pathways initiative.  Other Free TAFE courses are not included in this initiative.

Eligibility

Free TAFE Pathways are only available to students who have successfully completed a course that is part of a Free TAFE pathway and seeking to commence another Free TAFE course in the same pathway.  That course may have been completed at Chisholm or another TAFE.

For more information on eligibility, please visit the Free TAFE for Priority Courses FAQs.

If you are unsure if you qualify and would like advice, please contact us on 1300 244 746.
