03 / PLANNING A BUDGET

Read costs as estimates, then confirm them.

Study Australia says tuition varies by provider, level of study and location. Course materials or equipment can add costs. Its living and education costs guide links to course fees and a Cost of Living Calculator covering accommodation, transport and other choices.

The calculator gives a broad estimate; Study Australia says its figures were last updated in November 2023. Actual living costs can differ, so check current course fees with the provider and current housing costs for the location you are considering.
