Bu do we have to pay for uni fees and shit ?? if yes, how much (what %)
If a citizen, not upfront. You can defer it by putting it on HECS (only increases at inflation rate) and pay it back gradually when you earn over 40 something K a year.
 

umm what

So we don't have to pay anything while we are at uni right?

Education...i want to be a teacher(secondary)
teachnsw.edu.au -- has some and you could get a guaranteed place with DEC later on.
NSWTF-- although could be highly competitive and need references.
Also there is one through the teachers credit union-- but I am not sure how that one really works.
Then you have your individual uni undergrad scholarships of which you can apply for.

Sometimes based on your local area-- certain councils have scholarships as well. Often it is best to look on the Unis website or conduct a search in google like NSW teaching scholarships.

@OP: Have a look at University websites. Most (UNSW atleast) have a neatly laid out Scholarships system. You can search and apply etc.
USyd has one main application, while UWS is a bit like UNSW.
But at the end, apply for everything you're eligible for!

You'll have to pay for textbooks and shit. But in terms of uni fees and the SSAF, no, you don't.

Why wouldn't you just pay the University fees as you go? Why would you get a HECS loan when university itself is cheaper than private school fees?

you predict what atar you could get if you absolutely freaking nailed it and go from there. The people who select the scholarships line up lots of reserves in case the person they selected for the scholarship doesn't meet the criteria i.e. get the required atar
