Hi Aidan,
I'm thinking of having a crack at the Swinburne short course (online) for a bit of fun. I thought about doing something a bit more formal, but have had a busy year and only just finished a Masters in Public Health. I'm also signed up to the New Astronomer's Group with the Astronomical Society of Victoria, which I believe is far less academic and much more practical. Also seems a good opportunity to get to know some of the Melbourne folks.
If you're thinking seriously of a masters, maybe have a chat to renormalised (Carl), who was very encouraging when I was thinking about heading back to study. He's recently finished his masters, and will be helpful with some of the more practical questions you might have. Though I have a good general science background (also a BSC(Hons)) and did more biostatistics than I care to remember when I did my masters, I was still nervous about whether my maths would be up to speed, but folks have been pretty reassuring.
Hope this helps!
Mish
