Health cover

The Australian Government requires all holders of student visas to pay for health insurance in Australia through the Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) Scheme. This scheme is administered by OSHC Worldcare. You are insured for basic medical and hospital cover.

You will be able to collect your Worldcare Assist health card from reception after you arrive at CET.

2008 OSHC fees (AUD$) (Fees are subject to change)

If you are visiting Australia on another type of visa, you do not need to pay for health cover.

Living costs

You should allow a minimum of AUD$16,000 to cover your living costs (outside tuition) for each year you study in Australia.

Since July 2000, Australia has had a 10% Goods and Service Tax (GST). The GST does not apply to your tuition fees.
