This will depend whether you live on or off campus and whether you share that accomodation. For Accomodation you will probably need at a minimum $100 per week. For food, well again that depends on how much you eat. But budget $100-150 per week. You will then need fares and general living expenses. Again another $100-150 per week. Then ther will be fees and other uni expenses. So at a guess about $20000 for the year and that is living frugally. If you live in Canberra then add another $5000.

There is a cost of living guide for students interested in taking classes in Australia at: http://www.studyaustralia.com.au/services.htm http://www.studyaustralia.com.au/living.htm#4 http://www.studyaustralia.com.au/living.htm#3 Along with lots of advice on choosing an institution, information on work study, studying abroad etc etc, it includes this type of advice: "As a single student you will need approximately A$12,000รข€“A$17,000 per year for living expenses such as accommodation, food, transport, textbooks and some spending money. This amount will vary depending where you live (city or country), whether you are in a high or low cost area, and your personal lifestyle. This amount does not include international airfares or tuition fees." "As an international student on an Australian student visa, you can work up to 20 hours each week during semester, and full-time during vacation periods. Most universities and colleges have employment services that will help you find a job." Good luck with your applications!
