If you’re thinking of studying in Australia you will need to know what it will cost to support yourself. Obvious things that come to mind are accommodation, food, clothes, child-care and entertainment. Below is guide on financial requirements for international students studying in Australia for each academic year (does not include course tuition fees, Overseas Student Health Cover, travel/incidentals), however this can vary widely depending on your lifestyle:
International students wishing to bring their spouse and school aged dependents should ensure they plan for living expenses for each additional family member. In addition, students will be required to pay the full schooling tuition fees of his/her school-aged dependent children.

Initial establishment costs for a shared apartment, such as rental bond for accommodation, electricity, gas and telephone, could add up to at least $1,500. In addition, there are the costs associated with staying in touch with home. There are internet cafes located throughout the CBD which cost around AU$5.00 per hour as well as free Wi-Fi in popular areas such as McDonald’s and Starbucks. The cheapest way to phone overseas is using phone apps such as Skype or Viber or via a phone card. Phone cards can be purchased at newsagents and convenience stores. Different phone cards will have different rates so make sure different cards are compared to see which is the cheapest for your country. Students requiring a mobile phone, can get packages starting from around AU$15.00 a month plus call costs for a two year contract. You can also buy a pre-paid mobile phone for about AU$100.00. Note that calls made from mobile phones to overseas can add up to be very expensive.
To post a letter overseas the cost is between AU$1.75 to AU$2.60 through Australia Post. Parcels and freight are a lot more expensive and the cost will depend on how much you are sending and where it is going.
Australian education tuition fees for international students are very competitive with other countries. All tuition fees for international students who study in Australia are exempt from GST and are charged up-front, with some institutions making additional charges to cover other associated costs like mandatory student workbooks, sports facilities, laboratory costs, student organisation membership, and library fees.
The costs of English Language courses vary greatly depending on the duration and level of the English course. English language courses vary in duration and intensity, and can cost as little as a few hundred dollars for a two week short course to A$3,500 for a half year semester or up to A$14,500 for a full year university preparation English course.
Prices for vocational education courses in Australia can vary between A$3,000.00 and A$70,000.00 depending on the course, duration and whether the qualification is a certificate, diploma or advanced diploma. For example, learning to fly is far more expensive than any course that is largely classroom based.
The length of courses can also vary greatly depending on the type of course you plan on studying so make sure you do your homework before you enroll in any course.
Accommodation will vary according to your needs, budget, and where you wish to live. Sydney has many options for students include home-stay, shared accommodation, serviced apartments and private leasing (rental). Many of these accommodation options are available close to the college or with direct public transport access to the college. Advice on accommodation can be obtained from the College, but it is student’s responsibility to organize accommodation.
There are of course other costs associated with living in Australia. Please take these into account. For example, the extra cost of the use of electricity, the telephone and gas on top of your rent. Approximate costs of other living expenses include:
