There is no such thing as average. Example, I do not like meat and if you do then your cost of living is going to be higher then mine. Do you go out a lot?Have your own transport? do you plan to eat in or live on take aways. Where are you planning to live, as some suburbs have really high rents and others don't. To get a better answer you will have to give a bit more information.

A lot of money. I'm not sure how much, but if you've come here to study and you're from overseas - a LOT. I have many international students as friends and they have to pay tens of thousands every year just to live with a substitute family. Also, if you're not a citizen you basically have to pay everything full price. Public transport will be about twice the price of what Aussie citizens have to pay. Universities also charge you quite high. And the first comment is right - depending on what you do, where you live, that will affect your cost of living. If you're going to stay in the city, that will be expensive because most people living in the CBD are international students as well so everything is higher priced. I hope I didn't scare you off. Melbourne is a lovely city, I'm glad you're planning to come here to study.

most rental ( shared house ) cost around 90 to 180 dollars/per week depend on the area and condition . you will needs to spend around 100 on a ave food cost per weeks . travel would cost you 30 to 40 depend where you live . Most welfare is under 300 dollar a week so can say 300 dollar should do you a min. per week if you needs income to support yourself i do advise you to get a paid job for paying your bills if money is a urgency matter . But nothing to stop you to try thing after work hours if you really determine . At least you dont have to depend the online income to pay your bills Working online is possible but does take a bit of a training specially know how to drive the target traffic to your online business . It needs a lot of research or someone willing to show you how to start . I have researched a few possible work from home scheme that i can do while i have a few hours in my hands Some were lack of support which meant you pretty much on your own and Some i found you needs to take forever before you can make any dollars . I have discovered a home business have a fast rapid compensation plan that can generate faster income , and not months and months that built by a success team, a group of parents who work from home and the business can operate in 13 different country . you get a real time support and training online . you can seek more info from this page http://work-from-home.ws and get connect to a group of parents that is work from home via skype for their finding .
