Here’s a typical budget for studying in Australia:

- Tuition (Master’s): AUD 22,000 - 50,000/year (subject to change based on university and course)
- Living costs: AUD 24,505/year minimum required by the government; actual expenses usually range AUD 1,500 - 2,500/month depending on city and lifestyle
- Health insurance (OSHC): AUD 500 - 600/year (mandatory, subject to change)
- Student visa (Subclass 500): AUD 710 (subject to change)
- Application fees: Around AUD 133 per university (subject to change)

Total annual budget typically ranges AUD 38,000 - 70,000, depending on your choices and location.

You can work part-time (up to 48 hours per fortnight during semesters) to help offset costs. Scholarships are also available.

If you need a more tailored estimate or want to discuss scholarship options, please contact your LeapScholar counsellor.
