Fee-help for PSA diploma
August 15, 2013
THE Pharmaceutical Society of
Australia has been granted approval
to offer VET FEE-HELP for its newly
accredited Graduate Diploma of
Pharmacy Practice.
The move means that fees to
undertake further study need no
longer be a barrier for pharmacists
and interns wanting to improve
their management, business and
professional skills, the PSA said.
PSA National President, Grant
Kardachi, said the development was
a reflection of PSA’s “commitment
to helping secure the future of the
profession”.
He said that interns can elect to
enrol in four units of the Diploma
and defer their entire course fee
through VET FEE-HELP, which is
a loan program to help eligible
students enrolled in higher level
vocational education and training
(VET) courses at approved providers
to pay their tuition fees.
“PSA interns now have the option
to study now and pay later and
complete units of a postgraduate
qualification so that they are a step
ahead in their career,” Kardachi said.
The PSA also pointed out that fees
for the program are tax deductible.
