Hello Arixoo, As a permanent resident you can of course study without restriction. You will not have to pay international enrollment fees, but you will not immediately be able to pay the same reduced fee as an Australian citizen. To be more precise, under the Higher Education Support Act 2003, only Australian citizens and permanent humanitarian visa holders can access the Higher Education Loans Program (HELP) and the associated discount for up-front payments. New Zealand citizens and permanent visa holders are considered domestic students and will have continued access to lower fees through a Commonwealth supported place.
