So I just got my 189 visa, now I'm looking to do my master degree in Australia. I have found the suitable postgraduate coursework for me and I have confirmed with the university that it is one of the commonwealth supported place.
My question is as follows:
1. As a holder of 189 visa, am I eligible for CSP/HECS?
*note: One Uni said to me you need to be a citizen / a holder of a permanent humanitarian visa to access this benefit, but my friend who has a permanent resident visa can access this benefit.
2. Are there any differences between CSP and HECS?
3. With the new Education budget for 2014-15 in place, how does it affect me as a new student?
*note: in Layman's term please!
Thanks!
