2027 early-bird questions
When does the early-bird close?
Registrations received by 11:59pm AEDT on 31 December 2026 qualify for AMET’s early-bird benefits.
Does registering commit me to anything?
No. Registering secures your early-bird benefits and connects you with an AMET counsellor. You decide whether to apply.
Does AMET charge for this service?
No. AMET’s application service is free. You pay school tuition, OSHC, homestay and the government visa fee directly.
When can students start?
Students can usually start at the beginning of any school term. Term 1 starts in late January or early February 2027, so register at least 3–4 months ahead.
Who looks after students under 18?
Students under 18 must have approved accommodation and welfare arrangements: living with a parent or eligible relative, or in program-approved homestay with welfare (CAAW).
Can students go on to university?
Yes. Completing the TCE lets students apply to Australian universities, and many go on to university in Tasmania.
