LIVING IN AUSTRALIA
- Australia is a great place to live – a safe, friendly, multicultural environment which welcomes international students and visitors from around the world.
- You can make the most of your study experience by immersing yourself in Australian life. Enjoy the culture, the food, the sights and the people!
- In addition to your Australian qualification, you will gain from your exposure to a different society. International students say that it has increased their confidence, independence, resourcefulness and developed other personal attributes.
- On the following pages, you’ll find some details on the essentials of living in Australia. For more information, talk to your local IIEC counsellor. Many IIEC counsellors have lived in Australia themselves and can tell you about their experiences.
- The cost of living for international students is significantly lower in Australia than in countries like the USA and the UK.
- The average international student in Australia will spend around AU$700 to AU$1000 on living costs including accommodation, food, transport, telephone and entertainment.
- The Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs advises students to have AU$12,000 to AU$18,000 per year.
- Where you choose to study and how you choose to live in Australia will affect your costs. For example, living in a regional area or in an outer suburb is usually cheaper than in the main city centre. Your choice of transport is also important in terms of costs – riding a bike or using public transport is cheaper than buying and running your own car.
You can choose where you live in Australia. IIEC can provide information and help you find accommodation. Your choice may depend on your level of education, personality, study style and financial situation.
