You're a quick operator!
As for fees, you will likely be able to go on Fee-Help, which is full fees, but deferred payment (like HECS).
It is handy to have a physical uni to go into when you need hard copy books to look through, but especially to use SPSS packages that are up to date and have all the features you need for stats (the student version are a bit limited for certain types of analysis...all in good time for this to even be relevant to you, though!!) on the faculty computers. Also, for weekend schools, if you got into Monash, you'd need to fly down to Melbourne each semester, so can be a bit of a PITA as an interstate or overseas distance student. So, good luck with your applications - I hope you get your first choice!!
