well its adjusted for inflation
so watever the inflation rate is
however, they are deregulating HECS in 2005, so it may go down

its actually 30% not 300
in some instances, HECS will be abolished
Macquarie uni is going to set zero HECS on some of its advanced science units

 

[Dingo2004]

oh yes i meant 30% i typed the zero twice by accident. hehehe

so if they abolish HECS, does that mean we gotta all pay upfront?

 

[jlh]

no you don't pay upfront. there will be no hecs fees at all for those adv. sci units. so its FREE to study them!!

The difference in each year is around 2% which is consistent with Australia's inflation which has been steady at around 2% for the last decade or so.
