Students who are Australian citizens or permanent residents, PR ( with conditions) are eligible for interest free loans under HELP (Higher Education Loan Programme). H.E.L.P. replaces the Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS). Scholarships and other forms of financial assistance are also available ( Youth Allowance,  Austudy ). Refer to this article for information.  HECS loans have to be repaid upon completion of the degree and on obtaining gainful employment with a salary higher than some threshold  level. Generally speaking, and  as a guideline, the total  tuition cost for an International student is  twice that of an student who is an Australian citizen

Foreign students ( ie. Non Australian citizens or Permanent Residents) are charged  full fees for university education and are not eligible for any loans from the Australian Government. Instead they may apply for international scholarships. The following fee figues below  apply to non Australian students. If you are an Australian student ( citizen or PR  over 2 years ), a different fee schedule  applies to you involving HECS etc .
