Shared Accommodation Advertisements on student noticeboards and in sections of the local newspapers advertise for one or more people to share a house or flat, often where a lease has already been taken out. This often suits students once they have been in the country for some time and are comfortable with their new country’s living arrangements. Cost: AU$90 – AU$150 per week. Rental Accommodation As with share accommodation, units, flats, single bedsitters and even houses are available through real estate agents. These are usually unfurnished. One month’s rent in advance is usually charged plus a bond (or security deposit) prior to signing a lease agreement. Cost: AU$200 – AU$300 per week.

Cost of Living Before lodging your application you should consider whether you have enough money to set up house in Australia as well as pay for your airfares (including return), course tuition fees, Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) and all general expenses during your stay in Australia. As a general guide, your accommodation, food, transport, clothes and expenses will cost you around AU$18,000 as advised by DIAC, depending on your lifestyle and where in Australia you study.

If accompanied by family members you will also need enough money to cover their expenses. School aged dependants of international students must enrol in either a government or non government school, which may involve the payment of school fees. You should be aware that these amounts are only an indication of everyday expenses and do not include airfares, health insurance or the cost of your course.

Airport on Arrival Service If required, Endeavour College can organise an airport transfer to your accommodation. Please advise Endeavour College staff of your flight details at least 7 days before arrival. The cost of this service is AU$150.
