The Australian Government recommends a single student budget of AU$21,041 per year, with an additional $7,362 per year for a spouse and $3,152 per year, per child (figures correct from October 2019). As a condition of your student visa, you must have sufficient funds to pay all costs of studying in Australia, including tuition fees, living expenses, Overseas Health Cover, return airfares, and visa fees. Knowing the average living costs in Australia is an important part of your financial preparation. Visit Study in Australia for details.

Australia has specific rules to be followed, so international applicants need to show they meet our student visa requirements. For specific information about Australia's student visa requirements, visit Home Affairs.

Most student visas allow you to work for up to 40 hours per fortnight while your course is in session. Find out more at Home Affairs.
All people working in Australia have basic rights and protections in the workplace, including minimum pay and conditions. The Fair Work Ombudsman makes sure that these rights are protected and enforced fairly under Australia’s workplace laws. For more information, please visit Fair Work.

We understand your concerns that may have arisen due to the COVID-19 pandemic, however, we can assure you that if you choose to continue studying your course here in Australia, you will be offered an equivalent online learning experience and your study path will not be compromised.
