Study Assist
When Australian students go to university they are eligible for a Commonwealth supported place (CSP), whereby the Australian Government pays some of the university fees and the student pays the rest, this is called the 'student contribution amount'.

*EFTSL - equivalent full-time student load (EFTSL) of a unit, so the standard annual amount the student has to pay.
