AASC Fees Calculation

  • Full-timers:

    $364 per year split evenly over 26 pay periods (i.e. paid at $14 per fortnight).

  • Proportional:

    $84 per year plus the same proportion of $280 per year, split evenly over 26 pay periods (e.g. a 0.5 proportional tutor pays $84 + 0.5 x $280 = $224 per year, which becomes $224 / 26 = $8.62 per fortnight).
  • Part-timers and Casual: :

    50% of the full-time fee. That is $7 will be deducted from your wages per fortnight.
