Costs |
Cost
of an Australian Education
Before a decision is taken to study in Australia,
it is important that students and their parents be
fully aware of the costs that are likely to be involved.
Full fee paying students are charged for the full
cost of their education by any institution approved
by government to offer places to overseas students
under the full fee paying category. In addition to
paying the full cost of their courses, full fee paying
students must meet all their own travel and living
expenses, plus any student association fees, administrative
charges, textbooks and equipment, stationery, and
health costs. |
Safeguards for Fees
Special measures have been taken to safeguard self-funded
international students by providing an accreditation
and registration system which is subject to government
regulation at the state and national level. Under
the Education Services for Overseas Students (Registration
of Providers and Financial Regulations) Act introduced
in 1991, all courses for international students
must be approved by an approved State authority.
All institutions including all private colleges
and most ELICOS colleges must comply with the registration
requirements of the Act and are subject to its financial
regulations.
