Note: The Department of Immigration and Border Protection has financial requirements towards your living cost that you must meet in order to receive a student visa. Below is a guide on the requirements you must meet to study in Australia:
- Cost of Living of the Main Applicant (Student)– $18,610
- Cost of Living of the Partner of the Student(spouse dependent) – $6,515

Insurance and Other Costs
Insurance and Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)
All overseas students need to take the OSHC. You need to maintain OSHC while your student visa is valid. You will also be responsible for your own accident and property insurance. We also advise students to purchase a separate travel insurance before leaving Indian to cover lost baggage, cancellation of plane tickets and repatriation.
OSHC has to be maintained for all the dependents too (spouse and children).
Other Costs: You other costs include flight tickets, your medical examination that you do in India, buying for forex, and other luggage that you wish to carry

Once we meet you, and your parents or spouse, we ask you questions to get a clearer idea of your preferences, restrictions, and goals. This will allow us to make a range of suggestions with regard to locations and universities. With more discussions we’ll help you pick between them and narrow it down to the right selection of safe, moderate and ambitions options.
