For your visa you will typically need to show around $61,400, being twelve months of tuition plus the published living costs figure the Department of Home Affairs asks student visa applicants to evidence.
Estimates only. The student visa charge, OSHC premiums and the financial capacity requirement are set by the Australian government and change regularly. Confirm current figures on the Department of Home Affairs website before budgeting.
