Queensland government funding.
Are you eligible?

• FNS40222 Certificate IV in Accounting and Bookkeeping
• FNS50222 Diploma of Accounting

You can access the Queensland Government factsheet here for more details on the funding.

Therefore, she is eligible to study a Queensland Government subsidised Certificate IV qualification. If she had however completed (or was currently enrolled) in a Certificate IV qualification, she would not be eligible.
