Living costs will vary depending on the type of accommodation you choose, the number of people you live with, and the area you live in.

We estimate you will need a minimum of AU$ 7500 for essential living expenses per semester. Costs for accommodation and food can be reduced by sharing with friends and budgeting carefully. A budget should be used to find out what you can afford after you have paid the essentials.   

Use our budget calculator to work out your expenses in Australian dollars and in your own currency.
