We have an application fee of about $90, but that's not paid to the institution but to the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC). They administer all of the end-of-high-school results and award you an Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR, formerly UAI); you submit a list of up to 9 preferred courses and whatever institutions to UAC, they then start at the top ranked students (99.95 ATAR) and give them an offer from their 1st choice, then the next-ranked students, and so forth. If the relevant course is already full, then you get your second choice, or your third if the second is full, etc.

So while you have the fee, it covers up to 9 applications to any of the institutions, and the awarding of your HSC grade at the end of school as well.
