Re: Citizenship Application
Only some providers offer Commonwealth supported places at the postgraduate level. Most postgraduate courses at universities are offered as fee paying, but you will need to check with your provider to see if it offers Commonwealth supported place for the postgraduate course you intend to study.

Re: Citizenship Application
To be eligible for a HECS-HELP loan, you must:
be studying in a Commonwealth supported place;
be an Australian citizen or permanent humanitarian visa holder;
enrol with a provider in each unit, by the census date;
read the Information for Commonwealth supported students and HECS-HELP booklet; and
submit a valid Request for Commonwealth support and HECS-HELP form by the census date (or earlier administrative date) to your provider.

Re: any recently applied for citizenship at the hills shire nsw
we got approved in mid september 2012 and haven't yet got the ceremony invitation. Called the immigration yesterday and same story of 3 - 6 months..
called the Hill shire council as well, they said we just conduct ceremony based on the information(application) send from citizenship office and informed that they have just finished the November ceremony. SO i asked whether the January invitation and ceremony is all confirmed and booked. Council replied that they haven't got the application list yet from Citizenship office for Jan 2013 and most probably will be getting in first week of december 2012 and then only either us or citizenship office will be sending out the invitation to the relevant people.
We did not get any information of how long is the waiting list, hope we get invitation in december.

Re: Citizenship Application
HECS-HELP is for students in commonwealth supported places and FEE-HELP is for those eligible for domestic fees who aren't in commonwealth supported places.
FEE-HELP
VET FEE-HELP is for students doing vocational training at diploma level and above.
What is the difference between
FEE-HELP and HECS-HELP?
HECS-HELP is a loan (or discount for up-front payments)
for eligible Commonwealth supported students
studying at public universities (and some approved private
higher education providers). Commonwealth supported
students study in Commonwealth supported places
which are subsidised by the Government so that students
only pay a student contribution for their units of study.
Most undergraduate students study in Commonwealth
supported places. For more information about
Commonwealth supported places and/or HECS-HELP,
refer to the ‘Thinking about uni?’ brochure or visit
www.goingtouni.gov.au.
FEE-HELP is a loan for eligible domestic fee paying
students. These places are not subsidised by the
Government and tuition fees are set by the approved
providers. FEE-HELP is available at both public
universities and approved FEE-HELP providers.
A loan fee of 25% is applied to FEE-HELP loans for
undergraduate courses of study.

Re: Citizenship Application
I lodged online today! It will happen when it happens. I aint stressing. I can cope with one last visit to the long queue at the airport and I'm not sure I would vote for any of these muppets anyway - doesnt make much difference other than that really does it?
