Living costs are a minimum amount set for visa purposes. Living costs
vary depending on where you will be living and studying. It is your
responsibility to determine what your own costs will be to live and study
in Australia. Even if you have permission to work you should not rely on
work to support yourself in Australia as a student
Do you have access to sufficient funds to support you and your family
unit members for the TOTAL period of your stay in Australia (including
proposed course fees for you and any school-age family members,
living costs and travel costs, regardless of whether your dependants
intend to accompany you to Australia)?
