Overseas students should be aware that their Tuition fees are subject to annual increase as these minimum indicative fees are reviewed annually, and that the revised annual fee will apply to all Overseas students.
In 2010, Tuition fees for Overseas students at CHC are calculated at the rate of $AUD135.00 per credit point ($AUD1350.00 per 10 credit point unit).

Overseas students are generally required to maintain their enrolment in a full-time, on campus course. A standard annual full-time study load for CHC courses is:
| Course | Standard Annual Full-time Study Load |
|---|---|
| Undergraduate Preservice Bachelor of Education courses | 100 credit points (10 units) [50 credit points (5 units) per semester] |

It should be noted that the Total Tuition Fee indicated for each course is based on 2009 figures, and that this amount is indexed each year in accordance with Australian Government guidelines.
Please refer to the tuition fees table for information
Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)
The Australian government requires Overseas students and their dependants to obtain health insurance for the duration of their visas. OSHC provides cover for medical and hospital care costs which Overseas students may need while in Australia. This cover commences from the time students arrive in Australia.
CHC's preferred OSHC provider is Medibank Private, and CHC can accept payment of OSHC premiums on their behalf. However, students are able to obtain health insurance from any other government-approved OSHC provider by dealing with them directly. Other such providers include OSHC Worldcare http://www.oshcworldcare.com.au, British United Provident Association (BUPA) Ltd http://www.overseasstudenthealth.com, and Australian Health Management (AHM) http://www.ahm.com.au. Please note that CHC has no relationship with any other government-approved OSHC providers and can accept OSHC payments from students for Medibank Private only.
In 2010, the annual cost of OSHC is $AUD388.80 for a single student, and $AUD777.60 for family cover. The Application for Admission – Overseas Students form provides opportunity for you to indicate the number of years for which you wish to pay your OSHC premium upfront: you may choose to pay for one, two or three years, or for the length of your course (students who pay for multiple-year policies upfront receive a discount). Your choice will be reflected in the amount indicated on your Written Agreement as being required for upfront payment. CHC will arrange OSHC for this length of cover directly with its preferred OSHC provider. If the length of cover paid upfront is any period less than the length of your course, you are to renew your OSHC for the remaining period of your visa directly with the OSHC provider.
Full details of prices and options (including discounts for multiple-year policies), and information about the services covered by Medibank Private OSHC, are available on the Medibank Private website http://www.medibank.com.au/Overseas-Students/About-OSHC/Why-do-I-need-OSHC.aspx.
Please note that you are required to have obtained Overseas Student Health Cover for your visa application. If you choose to have CHC arrange your OSHC through its preferred OSHC provider, this will be indicated on your Confirmation of Enrolment and will be sufficient for your visa application. However, should you choose to obtain OSHC from another provider, you will be required to supply separate evidence of having obtained OSHC for your visa application.
A list of medical centres, hospitals and pharmacies which are located in the suburbs surrounding CHC is provided to Overseas students as part of their Orientation materials.
Refunds for Overseas Students Policy
The Refunds for Overseas Students policy sets out the conditions under which Overseas students may be eligible for a refund of Tuition fees, and the process which is to be followed when applying for a refund.
The Refunds for Overseas Students policy is available here.
Accommodation
Accommodation options for Overseas students vary according to a number of factors; for example, whether they are travelling to Australia alone or with members of their family. The options include houses or units in the suburbs surrounding CHC which are available to rent through commercial rental agencies, off campus units which offer shared accommodation for individuals, off campus boarding arrangements with families, and on campus dormitory-style rooms.
For further information regarding accommodation, please contact the CHC Reception or see the Student Accommodation Handbook.
Family (Dependants) and School-age Children
If you intend to bring family members with you to Australia, you should first confirm that your student visa allows for this. You should be aware that, while you are in Australia, you are responsible for supporting your dependants. A student bringing a spouse and/or children to Australia will need to have enough money to support them before the Australian Government will issue a visa. This includes providing Overseas Student Health Care (OSHC) and paying childcare and/ or education tuition fees for school-age dependants (ages 5-18).
Childcare costs in Australia are very high, and you should contact childcare centres directly for information regarding fees and availability before you arrive. Visa conditions require dependant school-aged children to attend school full-time. For information regarding tuition fees and other requirements for enrolling children in Queensland government schools, you should contact the Queensland Department of Education, Training and the Arts http://www.education.qld.gov.au. Alternatively, if you are interested in enrolling children in the independent school sector, please visit the websites of Christian Schools Australia http://www.csa.edu.au/schools.php and the Association of Independent Schools Queensland http://www.aisq.qld.edu.au for information regarding Christian and other independent schools in the Brisbane region.
