Australian Education System
The Australian education and training system has four main sectors:
- Universities
- Vocational education and training
- Schools

Some Institutions make an additional charge to cover other student costs. These may include student organisation membership, library and laboratory costs and sports facility costs. You may also have to pay a specific charge for excursions, books, stationery and other essential material for some courses.
