We are dedicated to giving our students a high-quality music education experience – and to ensuring that our courses are great value for money. Your course fees are an important investment in your future career in the music industry.
AIM’s fees are reviewed annually. Criteria used in annual fee reviews is outlined in the attached Domestic Fee Policy and Procedure.
All listed tuition fees are correct at the time of publication but may be subject to change.
Fee Payment Options
We recognise that tertiary education is a big investment – and that it can be challenging for students and their families to navigate all the available options. At AIM, we’re here to help you make sense of it all, and to ensure that your tertiary education is as accessible and affordable as possible.
AIM is a registered Higher Education Provider – which means eligible undergraduate and postgraduate students are able to access FEE-HELP – the Australian Government’s Higher Education Loan Program (HELP) to assist students with the cost of course fees. In most cases, FEE-HELP will cover your entire course fees.
If you’re an Australian citizen or hold a permanent humanitarian visa and reside in Australia, you can apply for FEE-HELP. Visit the government website Study Assist or call 1800 020 108 for more information.
If you don’t qualify for FEE-HELP, or you prefer to pay as you go and finish your studies debt-free, upfront payment is the way to go. We’ll invoice your tuition fees each semester and you can pay via direct deposit/transfer or Flywire.

TThe Tertiary Access Payment (TAP) is a one-time payment of up to $5,000 to help you cover the cost of moving from a regional or remote area to study after finishing Year 12 or an equivalent qualification. To be eligible for this payment, you must meet these specific criteria:
- Be an Australian resident meeting the residence rules
- Be from an inner regional, outer regional, or remote area
- Be moving to study at a tertiary education provider that is at least 90 minutes away from your family home by public transport
- Have completed Year 12 or an equivalent qualification
- Be studying a tertiary course at Certificate IV or above within 12 months of completing Year 12
- Be 22 or younger on the day you start your tertiary course

You can only claim TAP in your first year of study, and you can still receive it if you are getting ABSTUDY, Youth Allowance, or a Relocation Scholarship. Visit the Services Australia website to find out how to apply.
