Pre‑Departure Essentials for Students Going to Australia

01

Passport & Visa Readiness

Ensure your passport is valid for at least six months beyond your travel date; make both digital and physical copies and leave one with family. Hold a confirmed Student Visa and bring all essential visa documents including your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE).

03

Financial Preparation

Bring some Australian dollars (AUD) (recommended: AUD 500 in cash plus access to an ATM or card). Total initial funds of AUD 1,500–2,000 are suggested. Consider opening a local bank account upon arrival for ease of transactions.

Start Early & Arrive Prepared

Begin searching 1/2 months before your course starts to access the best options and apply early for in-demand university housing.

Aim to arrive a few weeks before classes begin. This gives you time to settle in, explore neighborhoods, inspect places in person, and adjust without the rush.

Accommodation Types to Consider

On campus housing (residence On campus housing (residences or colleges): Convenient, often furnished and inclusive of meals/utilities, but limited in availability.

Purpose Built Student Accommodation (PBSA): Modern, furnished, secure, with amenities like gyms and study zones. Rents typically range from AUD 200–500/week.

Private rentals or shared housing: Offers more independence and flexibility, potentially more affordable if shared—but can entail separate utility bills.

 

Homestays: Live with a local family, often inclusive of meals, ideal for cultural immersion.

Short term options (hostels, serviced apartments): Useful immediately upon arrival; nightly rates vary widely.

Managing Budget & Location

Stay close to campus or public transport, and nearby amenities like shops or healthcare for convenience. Suburbs can offer lower rent than city centers.

Include all costs in your budget: rent, bond (usually 4–6 weeks’ rent), utilities, furnishing, transport, and living expenses.

Safety, Legitimacy & Legal Rights

Verify providers and accreditation—look for NPAS or SAA accreditation, and for homestays check AGSI or NEAS standards.

Understand your tenant rights and lease terms—rent regulations vary by state or territory.

Protect yourself from scams:

  1. Never pay without inspecting the property—or at least doing a reliable virtual tour.
  2. Use trusted platforms
  3. Beware of offers that seem too cheap; illegal providers may overcrowd properties or use scams.
