Although government funding covers most of the cost of your course, you are required to make a small co-contribution on enrolment. The amount you are required to pay is determined by your concessional status.

What is a UAN?

The Upfront Assessment of Need (UAN) is a process that helps ensure:

• you are enrolling in the most suitable qualification
• you understand the course and what it involves
• any learning, personal, or technology support needs are identified early
• you meet the requirements for subsidised training in South Australia

It is designed to ensure you are set up for success from the very beginning.

What happens during the UAN?

UAN interviews are conducted via phone or Zoom meetings. During your interview, we will:

• confirm the details in your application
• discuss your goals and training suitability
• identify any support needs you may have
• explain how the course works and what to expect
• answer any questions about enrolment or funding

This step helps us provide the right support and ensures you meet all funding requirements.
