Important news about International student fees

International students there is some good news after all for you guys. We explain the good news.

“The proposed deregulation of university fees remains subject to new laws being passed by the Australian Parliament and would only apply to domestic Australian students.” Study Melbourne site.

There is good news for International students at this point in time about the fees. Ever since Tony Abbott's budget announcement announcing that universities can set their own fees from 2016, most of the majors ones in Victoria have decided to keep their fees the same for International students. This is in a bid for universities to obtain more money from the International student sector and for Australia to keep its competitiveness in the market.

Universities have decided not to change the fees for International students. Instead they have decided to keep the fees the same. Local students fees will rise meaning that the locals will have to pay more money.

Swinburne has already released a press statement and so has Vic Uni. RMIT has said nothing about the fees for International students. Nor have they mentioned anything about the concession cards

But there are still concerns that fee may rise according to CISA and this was mentioned at the conference this year. Meld is covering the conference widely and has also covered this issue too.
