Yes, Open Universities do Exist in Australia.

If you’ve just moved to Australia and are thinking about studying, up-grading your skills or taking on a new direction in life, Open University could be an option.

Open Universities Australia was set up by the Australian government and today there are 7 universities that run open uni courses.

These are the following:

Curtin University of Technology, Griffith University, Macquarie University, Monash University, RMIT University, Swinburne University of Technology and the University of South Australia.

Anyone can enrol, there are plenty of courses to choose from and you don’t have to visit the campus. All study can be done at home with the help of CD-roms, on-line, videos etc.

You can study at your own pace and in your own timing, at least any time within 10 years of starting the course. There are four semesters each year: March, June, September and December.

From what I’ve heard the courses are cheaper but check it out at: http://www.open.edu.au/.
