Typical commission ranges in Australia
• Universities: 10% – 15% of first year tuition fees
• Private Colleges / Higher Education Providers: 12% – 20% (Usually pay through out the entire length of the program)
• Vocational Colleges (VET sector): 15% – 25% (Usually pay through out the entire length of the program)
Example
If a student pays AUD 25,000 for the first year of tuition:
• 10% commission = AUD 2,500
• 15% commission = AUD 3,750
• 20% commission = AUD 5,000
In many cases, agents also receive additional bonuses for recruiting larger numbers of students each year.
