Fees
The University of Melbourne has adopted a new system for charging Postgraduate Course Fees. Fees per subject will be set on an annual basis.
A fee calculator is located at http://www.futurestudents.unimelb.edu.au/aust/fees/calccw.html
Fee Help is now available for this course for Australian residents or holders of Australian permanent visas. Fee Help is an interest-free loans facility for fee-paying postgraduate students undertaking non-research courses. It is similar to the deferred payment arrangements available under HECS.

The ruling examines deductibility of program fees under self-education expenses under Section 8-1 of the Australian Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. The ruling provides comprehensive guidelines on eligibility and types of deductions available.
