Interest free forever, except if you leave the country. There are minimum repayments, which are skimmed from your paycheck. About $7000 a year goes to tuition, and about the same on living costs. The government also has a means-tested student allowance, which is based on your parents income, which I'm not eligible for, but replaces the living costs loan (which is a bit bullshit).
