Yes, you can pay for the MAAL through HECS if you are an Australian citizen or a permanent resident of Australia.
7.3 If I’m an Australian citizen overseas, do I still qualify for HECS?
Yes, MAAL students qualify for HECS (the Higher Education Contribution Scheme) if they are Australian citizens or permanent residents who happen to be living overseas at the time.

7.5 Can I pay per unit per semester?

Not really. There are scholarships and other financial aid options offered at UNE, but there are no scholarships targetted at MAAL students in particular. You can find more information on existing scholarship schemes at Scholarships.
