PAYING FOR YOUR STUDIES
If you are an Australian citizen, your place as a student at UniSA is
Commonwealth-supported. This means you are charged for a portion of the cost
of your studies and the Australian Government contributes the rest. If eligible,
you can defer your contribution through a HECS-HELP loan, and repay it later
through the taxation system. Your contribution will depend on what you study.
