Guest Loo88 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I've been living in the UK for nearly 8 years, and I'm heading back to Adelaide on tuesday, starting Uni next month. Just curious as to whether anybody else has been in a similar situation, and knows how Uni fees work [what benefits are available, or whether I have to be back in the country for a while], and the asme with healthcare. How much am I covered? Thanks =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have rights to medicare (public health) regardless if you are an Aussie or a Brit. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed HECS is actually the fees (Higher Education Contribution Scheme), HECS HELP HECS-HELP will be available if you are an Australian citizen and is a student loan. There is also a HECS discount if you pay your fees upfront Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest swandog Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 You might find however, that you need to subscribe to the ambulance service. Some states offer this for free but others make you pay. Apparently it isn't very expensive, but I couldn't tell you for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
