investment into the future, the fnancial
costs involved can seem daunting. Help
with fees is available if you look around,
so it‘s worth checking what options are
available.
A FEE-HELP loan is available for eligible
Australian citizens and permanent
humanitarian visa holders to help with
tuition fees. For more information, see
