This is so incorrect. Just because you aren't doesn't mean it's impossible.
To the OP. I did the Swinburne course. Luckily my timing was a bit better, but it's been worth it for me. You also forge some very solid connections. I guess I took getting into the industry early in exchange for the fee help burden, and maybe in hindsight I should have tried to fund it as I went, but it's not something I give too much thought.
