We know what it’s like when hidden costs pop up so we want to be totally upfront about our fees! There are some third-party costs which you will need to consider in addition to your package:
BEFORE YOU DEPART
AUSTRALIAN WORK AND HOLIDAY VISA (510 AUD) – this fee is set by the Australian government and is subject to change.
INSURANCE - Your program does not include insurance. Your insurance should be purchased before you depart through your preferred provider.
FLIGHTS TO AUSTRALIA: Flights costs will vary depending on the time of year you wish to depart and the airline. We recommend Student Universe for great deals on flights from the US to Australia.
AFTER YOU ARRIVE
THE FIRST MONTH - your first pay may be up to a month after you arrive. In the interim you need to cover you living costs including accommodation, meals and miscellaneous expenses.
Preparing For Your Trip
The big day is getting closer, so it is now time to prepare. Your successful entry into Australia depends on you completing ALL the necessary steps required by the Australian government at the correct time. We have provided this list, however, you will receive detailed information after you apply to ensure you understand all the necessary steps prior to departure.
