Default moving to oz as a kiwi to study

Hi all, im thinking of moving to Australia. I have been accepted onto a degree in Auckland starting March next year - so this is a long-term plan - but im wondering what the rules are for kiwis who study in OZ? Do you pay foreign fees etc? Can you get allowances?

You pay domestic fees, you don't get HECS which means you pay for each semester up front. You can get commonwealth supported places, meaning discounted like nursing which I am doing, costs about $2500 per semester.

You can't get Austudy.

I can't help saying stuff like 'sweet', 'choice' and especially 'aye' after each sentence. Aye?
