Living costs in Australia 

Australia enjoys one of the highest standards of living in the world while remaining affordable.

An average international student in Australia can expect to pay about A$360 a week on:

  • accommodation;
  • food;
  • clothing;
  • entertainment;
  • transport;
  • international and domestic travel;
  • telephone; and
  • incidental costs.

You could spend more or less depending on where you live, your lifestyle and your course.
