PHEIG's Felicity Coughlan said 15 private higher education institutions in the group - including Milpark, the Da Vinci Institute, Monash and Boston College - are considering a fee increase of 6 percent for the 2017 academic year.
"The no-fee increment was mentioned by one of our members. Most of our members are having to increase fees, because of the cost increases. Ours are averaging at the Independent Institute of Education between 5 percent and 6 percent," she said.
