Yup, HECS is wonderful. I'm a current engineering student and it's offloaded a major concern from my mind about university. University used to be free in Australia a few decades ago, I believe. I think there IS a limit on how long studies go. When I changed degrees I remember one of the Centrelink mentioning something graduation date and if it's within a range—I should check. Also, they've proposed to remove the HECS-HELP discounts[1].

I thought there was too, but apparently that was removed as of 01/01/12. Quoth a big PDF [1]: "As of 1 January 2012, there is no limit to the amount of study you can undertake in a CSP. However, it is important to note that some approved providers may have academic probation procedures in place and if you are not progressing satisfactorily in your course, your enrolment may be cancelled."
