the easiest way is to become an exchange student. that means, your home university (your university in lebanon) must have an exchange agreement in with an australian university. the exchange agreement usually means you receive credit towards your home university studies for the units you take in australia. student exchange is usually for one or two semesters (up to a year). you dont say what you want to study, so its impossible to say which foundations etc. but that is your own responsibility, anyway. studying aborad involves a lot of hard work (i know. i am overseas now) and it is no one's responsibility but your own.

my girfriend is in Australia on a student visa and she is pregnant. How much will it cost without medicare?
I have PR and have health insurance but she does not. She is from Japan and they dont seem to have a recipricol arrangement. She will likely require a C - section, any ideas on how much pregnancy and delivery will cost?

A c-section can cost anywhere from 20-50 thousand.. Depending on country and if any problems will arise.
2 :
If your the dad she should be able to be on your insurance until she gives birth. I think my whole pregnancy and labor and delivery costs were somewhere around $10,000 when all was said and done but I have insurance and only paid maybe $500-$800 of it.

You are posting on the USA board. Put your question into Travel>Australia for answers.
4 :
in Australia anywhere between 5-15K depending on complications and how long she is in hospital. It will be much cheaper if she returns to Japan for this and then return afterwards.

How much can a student earn per hour as a taxi driver in Australia?
How much can a student earn per hour as a taxi driver in Australia?
It is important for me to get this information specifically in the city of Brisbane. it is also of significance that how much I can earn if I just work during the weekends (Saturday and Sunday). This is when a student is not a citizen of Australia.

You can't be a taxi driver if you are a student. Taxi plates are very expensive to buy (hundreds of thousands), and taxi companies employ drivers who own their own plates. Companies who employ drivers usually hire older drivers because they are reliable and can drive at night, when it's not exactly the safest job in town.

[edit - the girl above me is wrong. there are many student taxi drivers in brisbane - i started when i had just turned 20. the only requirement is an open driver's licence, which you could have as early as 20 years old. the cab companies DO NOT exclusively hire drivers who own plates - there's very few of those. i never had a major problem driving nights, but i'm a big, young guy. the thugs usually TARGET the older drivers.] i'm a former brisbane taxi driver. the work is more seasonal than you would expect. january/february is terrible, nobody goes out because money is still tight from christmas. i quit in january a few years back because it just died after december. anyway, about the money... i used to aim for $600 on the meter, which is $300 for the driver. plus tips. the most i ever made was $1000, and i pulled in over $600 for myself, but that was a biggg shift and you can't predict when you'll get lucky like that. another reason i quit is because the system is rigged... the computer rates jobs on how much they're worth, and dispatches good jobs to cars that are owned by board members. it's called being "fed", some cars are fed good work, others have to do the hard yards themselves while being stuffed around with all the small jobs left over. they'll tell you it doesn't happen, but trust me, it does, it's a fact. it's less of a problem later in the night when you rely on hails rather than the computer, then it's just pot luck. if you're prepared to drive friday and saturday night, and put up with the drunk idiots, you should make at least $500 for yourself, once you get the hang of it. it will take a while though.

tnuc_den has it pretty right. I would suggest that you ensure the following if you want to drive an Australian taxi: 1. Be legally allowed to work. I know this is an issue with illegal drivers in Melbourne and Sydney, and Brisbane too, I suspect. 2. Learn your way around. This causes headaches fro passengers a lot, especially visitors: you are expected to get around without assistance. 3. Know the ettiquette: if a customer is dissatisfied with a taxi service it is usually because the taxi (and yes, sometimes the driver) is dirty, or they don't know where they are going, or they are rude. You do not have to put up with idiot passengers and passengers do not have to put up with poor service: it is a two way thing. 4. As a student you can drive, just be sure you get paid officially, not under the counter. Taxes must be paid and recirds kept if you are to be legally covered as a driver. 5. Know the road rules. I know this stuff is pretty basic and might sound rather condescending, but taxis in out bigger cities have afairly poor reputation, and, sorry to say, especially those driven by recent immigrants and foreign students. Make sure you can do the job properly and you will find it easier.

a foreign student can not apply for a work permit until your classes start,then when work visa is granted you can work 20 hours a week while classes are in session and full time while school holidays are on so you need to apply for study visa first then when the course starts apply for a work visa http://www.immi.gov.au/students/students/working_while_studying/index.htm

Each of these areas of study would get you a reasonably good job after your studies. I think you go for what you are most interested in. Have you checked out the universities' websites? Both of them have split campuses - many of them in different parts of Victoria, and your location would depend on which degree you study for. Swinburne even has a campus in Malaysia. Find out the study patterns for each of the degrees and decide which one would suit you best, and how much commuting between campuses would be involved - bus, train etc. Good luck. I hope you enjoy your studies.
