From the 2 countries you mentioned, Australia is most likely have the lowest cost of living, and probably the lowest tuition fee as well due to currency exchange. For Australia, on top of tuition fees, you will need to pay for campus fee (vary from each uni) and Overseas Student Health Cover (abt AUD$350/yr) and text books (abt AUD$200). These are the rough estimate of the fees for your study.
Before coming to Australia, you will need to pay the fee for student visa processing and health check-up. You may also be required to take an IELTS test for indication of your English proficiency (depending which country you come from) for application to uni and for visa.
Unfortunately I dun have much info abt Robert Gorden Uni. Charles Sturt Uni (CSU) is one of only 42 universities in Australia, all of the are fully accredited and tightly controlled. So I believe that in regards to recognition, you dun have any problems.
I think the most important thing is to find out where do you want to work. The reason being is, employers will probably still prefer local university graduates than overseas, especially in the US (so I was told).
To find out the course that you are taking and where it is offered (other than CSU), I suggest you to go to Dept of Education, Science and Technology (http://cricos.dest.gov.au) and IDP Education Australia website (www.idp.edu.au). IDP is an organisation that gives information to international students who wants to continue their study in Australia. You need to make sure what psychology you want to study. Once decided on the uni, fill in the application form and send it together with certified copy of your academic qualification
Hope this helps. Good luck on your study 🙂
