Each year TASC collects from schools a fee for each full-fee paying international student (500 Visa) enrolled in one or more TASC senior secondary courses.

TASC charges fees for services provided for international students, under the Tasmanian Assessment, Standards and Certification Act 2003.

The fee is payable for a student who has participated in one or more TASC accredited course, including courses that are not externally assessed (or completed) and who is enrolled on 1 September.

Data identifying full-fee paying students from overseas registered to Tasmanian schools/colleges, is sourced from the Provider Registration and International Student Management System (PRISMS).

The fee for 2023 students will be $447.19 (excluding GST), for each student.
The fee for 2024 students will be calculated and published after 1st July 2024.

If students can’t get to a regular exam centre (for example, they are interstate or overseas) it may be possible to set up a special exam centre at a suitable venue.

Information about how how to apply and the Request for Special Exam Centre form is available at Exam Centres / ‘Requesting a special exam centre’.

If schools have a question about the requirements and applications for special exam centres, contact Assessment using a ‘Special exam centre’ TRACS task. Students can also contact us for more information.

Special exam centre fees (2023 onwards), the fees reflect the higher costs of providing this service as per below:

For overseas centres, there is a fee of $295.00 (inc. GST) per centre.  For interstate centres, a fee of $195.00 (inc. GST) per centre.  You may also be required to pay costs for the provision of a supervisor at your special exam centre.  If applicable, these costs are to be paid directly to the supervising institution.  

The costs associated with setting up a special exam centre, including administration and exam supervision fees, must be covered by the student. The fees are non-refundable.

Tasmanian schools and colleges may apply to TASC to be registered to provide education services to international students in Australia.
