Financial Responsibility

All fees are in Australian dollars (AUD). To find out the cost of the course in your currency see: www.xe.com. You will be notified of any changes to this fee schedule prior to arrival.

Payments Overview

First payment	$40 non-refundable application fee	due with application
Second	$500 enrolment deposit plus health cover if required	due 3 weeks after acceptance
Third	$14,500 remaining lecture fees	due 3 weeks before each quarter starts

SBS School Fees:

SBS Lecture Fees: $15,000 AUD [$5,000 AUD per quarter]

The $15,000 school lecture fee covers room and board (i.e. food and accommodation), training costs, administration and local ministry transportation costs for the lecture phase of the course. It does not include visas or personal expenses such as toiletries, laundry, snacks and postage, etc.

Insurance

Overseas students studying in Australia on student visas are required to obtain Overseas Health Cover (OSHC). You will be advised of the cost with your acceptance papers. OSHC payments are due with the second school payment.

You may like to have travel insurance while travelling to and from the SBS or for a more comprehensive medical policy.

Note

The SBS Course Costs and Overseas Student Health cover fees are paid into a notified trust account and are covered by Student Tuition Insurance to ensure that students who are eligible for refund under the ESOS Act 1991 will receive a refund should the course cease to be provided. The Medical Health Insurance is only held by YWAM Sunshine Coast until such time as the premium is due and monies are passed on to the health fund.

Students generally will not be able to begin their course unless they are able to make these payments. However if you contact the school Director and explain your financial situation another payment schedule may be arranged.
