Cost of studying in Australia
Australia is an ideal place to enjoy a quality education and outstanding quality of life.
Australia offers value for your money, with living expenses (such as private rent) and tuition costs comparable with the United States and United Kingdom. You can earn a small amount by working part-time up to 40 hours every two weeks while you study. However, you cannot rely on this as your only source of income.

Insurance and Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)
You need to maintain insurance called Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) while your student visa is valid. You will also be responsible for your own accident and property insurance. It is also advisable to purchase travel insurance before leaving your country to cover lost baggage, cancellation of plane tickets and repatriation.
OSHC Fee: AUD 400 - 500 per year
