Indicative costs of living in Australia for International Students

International student visa applicants and their family members must have access to the following funds to meet the living costs requirements:

As an international student, you must be aware that you must fund your entire studies and living expenses independently. The Migration Regulations require international students to show evidence of funds to contribute to the cost of living and studying in Australia. This helps to ensure students are better able to make the most of their studies and have a safe and enjoyable experience in Australia.

While international students are able to supplement their income with money earned through part-time work in Australia, the ‘living costs’ requirement helps to support the success of students in their studies by ensuring that they do not rely on such work to meet all their expenses.

International student visa applicants and their family members must have access to the following funds to meet the living costs requirements:
