You must show enough funds to cover your first year’s tuition, living expenses, travel, and Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for an Australian student visa.

- Tuition fees: Full first-year amount (typically AUD 22,000 - 50,000 for postgraduates)
- Living expenses: AUD 29,710/year (single student)
- Travel costs: About AUD 2,000 (one-way flight)
- OSHC: Around AUD 800/year

Total funds required usually range from AUD 54,500 to AUD 82,500, depending on your tuition fees.

Funds must be genuine, stable, and accessible - held for at least 3 - 6 months.
