Tertiary education fees in Australia
Higher education fees in Australia are charged to all students, but Australian citizens and (with some limitations) permanent residents are able to obtain interest free loans from the government under the Higher Education Loan Programme (HELP) which replaced the Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS). Most students are Commonwealth supported, which means the Commonwealth Government pays a contribution to the fees and students are able to defer payment of the remainder of the fees, which for Commonwealth supported students are called the "student contribution".
