Cost of Living

The cost of living in both Hobart and Launceston depends on the student’s lifestyle and budgeting skills. As a guide, it is estimated that you will need between A$11,000 and A$14,500 a year (covering accommodation, transport, food, electricity, etc).

In addition, there is no application fee, no accommodation fees (except for a homestay placement fee), free airport pickup and no extra hidden charges, plus a full range of services and student support at no cost, which will help make your student life in Tasmania enjoyable!
