DBS School Fees: 

DBS Lecture Fees: $4990AUD

The $3300 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 SBSOne or for a more comprehensive medical policy.

Note 

The SBSOne 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.   

Student study allowance (for Australian citizens only)
