What is Fee-Free TAFE?

Fee-Free TAFE is an initiative by the Western Australian government, designed to provide eligible residents of WA with the opportunity to pursue a fully accredited diploma, certificate qualification, or short course at no cost.

This program targets key areas where skill shortages exist, ensuring participants are well-prepared for the current job market. Priority is given to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, unpaid carers, young adults, women, individuals with disabilities, and the unemployed.

A wide array of qualifications is available in sectors that are currently facing a high demand for skilled workers, including aged care, hospitality, nursing and healthcare, information technology, construction, agriculture, childcare, disability support, and manufacturing.

To qualify for Fee-Free TAFE, candidates must be at least 15 years old, a resident or employed in WA, an Australian citizen or permanent resident, or hold a valid visa, and not be currently enrolled in school.

It’s important to note that training options are not limited to TAFE Western Australian institutes; a variety of approved Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) throughout the state also participate in delivering these free qualifications.
