Brisbane rates well on cost of living indexes for Australian cities (see table on page 6). The cost of living will vary according to an individual students lifestyle and requirements. As a guide, a student living in shared accommodation off-campus would pay approximately AUD$17,000 a year for rent, food, and utilities. Students will also need to consider establishment costs (approximately AUD$3590 for a student living off-campus) when setting up their accommodation, and additional living expenses such as public transport, entertainment, telephone costs, textbooks, photocopying and clothing. Students should refer to the Expenses guide on page 96 to determine which costs they should consider.

Expenses to be considered include visa and medical (pre-departure) fees (see page 107), tuition fees (see pages 98-102), general living expenses, return airfares, and Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC). A summary of estimated expenses (excluding UQ tuition fees) is shown in the Expenses guide table (see page 96).

Personal access to a computer and the Internet is highly recommended for all students and, in most programs, is required. While computers are available on campus, students are advised to bring a computer with them or to purchase or hire a computer in Australia. Wireless laptop connections are available on all campuses. UQ provides basic access to the Internet for study purposes, and students whose Internet use is high may purchase top up access for a reasonable cost. For students who wish to purchase a car, costs can vary from AUD$5000 to AUD$25,000 or more and running costs after purchase price are about AUD$100 per week. It is strongly recommended that students use public transport. Allowances should also be made for recreation, for emergencies and for health expenses not covered by OSHC. Exchange rate variations may also affect budgeting.

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) is insurance that provides basic cover for medical and hospital care costs which international students may need while in Australia. OSHC is a compulsory requirement for a student visa (see page 107) and is available from any government-approved OSHC provider. OSHC covers students from the time they arrive in Australia only. Travel insurance is also strongly recommended to provide cover during transit. More information about the Australian health system and health insurance will be provided during Orientation (see page 18). Further general information about OSHC is available on the Department of Health and Ageing website at www.health.gov.au

A student bringing a spouse and/or children to Australia will need to have enough money to support them before the Australian Government will issue a visa (see page 96). A comprehensive explanation about family and spouse issues can be found in the Student Services booklet Families of International Students, available at www.uq.edu.au/studentservices (International Student Support), or by email from ss@uq.edu.au. Further information is also available on the DIAC website at www.immi.gov.au

Childcare costs
Childcare costs in Australia are very high. It is important that students contact childcare centres directly for fee information before arrival (see page 22).

School tuition fees for children

DIAC requires dependant children between the ages of five and 18 to attend school full-time as a condition of the dependant visa. International fee-paying students must pay school tuition fees for school-aged children. In 2009, the annual fees at Queensland Government schools were as follows:
AGE FEE (AUD$)*

Prep Year (age five by 30 June) Primary Years 1-7(age six by 31 December) Junior secondary Years 8-10 (ages 12 to 15) Senior secondary Years 11-12 (ages 16 to 18)
*These fees may increase in 2011.

$8160 $8160 $8160 $8976

In the state of Queensland, all state schools offer an optional Prep Year in place of a preschool year (see http://education.qld.gov.au/ studentservices/inclusive/prep/). The process of enrolling children in schools is different in each State in Australia. In Queensland, it is not possible to enrol a child in school until he or she has arrived in the State. Upon applying to The University of Queensland, students are provided with more information about how to organise a childs Certificate of Enrolment, which can be used to apply for the childs dependant visa and later to enrol the child in a school. General information about the process of arranging schooling for children of international students is available at www.eqi.com.au/ programs/dependant-student.html Students who have received scholarships from their home governments may be exempt from paying school tuition fees for their children. These students should contact the Administrative Officer International Scholarships in UQ International before applying for a dependant visa to inquire about whether their particular scholarship entitles them to an exemption from school tuition fees, and for assistance with this process. The website above outlines any costs that are additional to tuition fees. These extra costs total a minimum of $1200 per child per school year. The additional costs are not waived and are paid by parents directly to the school.

EmPloYmEnt oPtionS
International students and dependants in Australia on student dependant visas who are residing in Australia and who wish to work, must have a student visa that includes permission to work. Initial student visas and dependent student visas all include work rights. If for any reason, the student visa is issued without the right to work, a permission to work student visa will need to be applied for after commencing classes. A Tax File Number is also needed before undertaking work. More information about applying for the student visa with permission to work, the Tax File Number, and obtaining part-time work while studying, will be given during Orientation week. Information about dependants working will be covered in the Families of International Students session during Orientation week. In general, students should not expect to cover tuition fees or living expenses from casual work. Holders of a student visa with work rights can work up to 20 hours per week while their University program is in session, and full-time when their academic program is not in session. Students studying at UQ on a scholarship should contact their scholarship provider regarding the number of hours they are permitted to work each week. Part-time work can be difficult to find and there is strong competition. An Employment Officer at UQ St Lucia can help students look for part-time work, most of which is non-professional, such as waiting on tables, cleaning or sales.

Note that application fees may apply for entry into schools in Queensland.
