G day mate

Advise I could give is attending Oxford Aviation Academy in Melbourne. You will have to to a Bachelor of Aviation at Swinburne university along with your flying training. It takes 3 or 4 years depending on whether you add a Bachelor of commerce to the degree. It's covers under FEE help so all the flying is paid by the government and the Uni is HECS covered.

Issues with this is.
It's very structured so diversity in your flying program isn't an option.
Second is its cost sooo much more than other conventional schools , so once you actually earn money along with 20% increase on the FEE HELP YOur looking at 120 grand of debt.
Third issue is the shear volume of students. And the impersonal a approach of the training. Your really just a number or a dollar bill.
If your really motivated and dedicated then you'll be fine but I'd you are remotely slack you will drop back quick.

Message me if your keen for some more details.
