Live in Australia - Living expenses

The average international student in Australia spends about A$300 per week on food, accommodation, clothing, local transport, telephone, gas/electricity, stationery, and entertainment, although this varies significantly by location and lifestyle.

International students in Australia on student visas can work for up to 20 hours a week once they have arrived in Australia and commenced their course of study.

Although it is possible for international students to work whilst studying, part-time employment should not be regarded as a means of financing your studies in Australia.
