Concession entitlement

Primary card holder

By continuing with your online application and accepting Chisholm’s Terms and Conditions, where you are the Primary Card Holder and provide the details of your Commonwealth Health Care card or Pensioner Concession Card, you:

  • Confirm that you are authorised to provide the personal details presented and consent to your information being checked with the document issuer or official holder via third party systems for the purpose of confirming your identity and perform a Centrelink enquiry of your Centrelink customer details and concession card status to enable Chisholm to determine if you qualify for a concession, rebate or service.
  • Authorise the Australian Government Department of Home Affairs (the department) to provide the results of that enquiry to Chisholm Institute .

And you understand that:

  • The Department will disclose personal information to Chisholm Institute including my name, address, concession card type and status to confirm my eligibility for a discounted tuition fee.
  • This consent, once signed, remains valid while I am an applicant or student of Chisholm Institute unless I withdraw it by contacting Chisholm Institute or the Department.
  • I can get proof of my circumstances/details from the Department and provide it to Chisholm Institute so my eligibility for a discounted tuition fee can be determined.
  • If I withdraw my consent or do not alternatively provide proof of my circumstances/details, I may not be eligible for the discounted tuition fee provided by Chisholm Institute.

Listed dependant or spouse of primary card holder

If you are a listed dependant or spouse of the primary card holder who is entitled to a concession, please download the Centrelink Document Verification Service Authorisation form for completion by the primary card holder.

VEVO – Visa, Residency and Study Rights verification

The Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) service allows visa holders, employers, education providers and other organisations to check visa details and conditions.

VEVO confirms the below details relating to an in-effect visa:

  • the visa class/subclass
  • the grant date
  • the expiry date
  • the stream
  • the period of stay (how long you can stay)
  • the conditions (what you can and can't do).

VEVO is not able to provide any details relating to visas that are not ‘in-effect’. For example, if you hold a Bridging visa but your substantive visa has not yet expired.

VEVO accepts:

  • Non-Australian Passport
  • ImmiCard
  • Convention Travel Document – also known as a Titre de Voyage
  • Document for Travel To Australia (DFTTA)
