1 sidney
Living in Sydney is a dream, but in this case, beauty costs a little more. As a world-renowned tourist spot, the famous city in Southeast Australia is a popular destination not only for Brazilians but also for foreigners of other nationalities who decide to come to Australia. With high demand, accommodation, public transport and food are more expensive there.
2 canberra
Capital of the country and corner of both sun and snow! This is Canberra. A city with more than half the female population couldn’t go wrong!
Extremely organized and, as it is not so well known by Brazilians, it is a city where speaking its mother tongue can be a challenge. English rules over there! Prices are a little lower than in Sydney in general, but to live in, it’s still a little more expensive than other related cities.
3 brisbane
Located in the state known as the “Sun State”, Brisbane is also the city where Australia Channel’s headquarters are located. It is currently a chosen place of residence for both international and Australian students! Organized, safe, full of natural beauty and close to the northeast coast of the country. In a city that is in full expansion, the exodus to this area is clear, so if you search for any housing nowadays, you will see prices a little more expensive (comparing to other) cities, but with the option of getting a job with easier (because of constant demand).
4 perth
Perth is one of the paradises for international professional surfing! Organized, on the rise, but little known by Brazilians. Proof of this is the number of Australia Channel students who always report that they only speak English there because of the large number of Australians there. Safe city with great tourist potential for being directly on the southwest coast (Indian Ocean). As it is not usually the first choice of students and international travelers, prices for housing, transport and food can be very attractive compared to the other cities analyzed. Here’s the tip!
5 melbourne
A city that has already been considered 7 times the best city to live in the WORLD needs no introduction, right? This is Melbourne. It is also among the top cities chosen by the entire world population that decides for the exchange. Extremely organized (proof of this is the wide range of public transport options) and with the charm of a big first world city, Melbourne can be a pleasant surprise for those who choose it as a new home, BUT pay attention to the housing price. The logic is the same here: with a high demand, prices to live in can be a little more expensive compared to the other cities analyzed.
6 adelaide
Located in South Australia, Adelaide can also be a beautiful destination for anyone thinking of coming to live in Australia! It is usually a city chosen by students who have been living in Australia for a while and want to try to migrate. The city is located in the second most populous state in the country and also one of the driest! If hot and dry weather is something you like, this city could be a great option for you! Housing prices are considered average, but compared to the other cities analyzed, it has a good average price for public transport.
7 hobart
If you want to live in a surreal place and don’t want to pay that much to live, Hobart might be a good place for you! Located in Tasmania, Hobart has been the destination of many international students (mainly Brazilians). Even in increasing development, it can be a bit more difficult to find a job. In any case, it is an excellent tourist city, with several leisure options that are unmatched anywhere else in the world and with a pleasant average housing cost for an international student!
8 gold coast
He talked about enjoying life and lifestyle, he talked about the Gold Coast! Like Brisbane, the city is located in the State of Queensland and is the destination for the vast majority of international students who value a healthier and coastal life. Currently, the largest international community in the city is of Brazilian origin! Therefore, if your goal is to speak English, policing yourself is more than necessary. It offers public transport a little cheaper compared to other cities, but not as efficient when it comes to availability. Medium cost rents and, generally speaking, not so expensive to eat and support yourself if you find a good job (very good for those looking for hospitality work). Famous beaches for water sports are also a trademark of the city.
9 sunshine coast
Much like the style of the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast is an excellent destination to live a peaceful exchange filled with natural beauties due to well-explored ecological tourism. Compared to the other cities analyzed, Sunshine Coast is one of the cities with the lowest cost of living (especially compared to other cities in Queensland). With the exception of a very poor public transport, the city’s lyfe style provides good options for those looking for jobs in the hospitality area. Coastal, idyllic and heavily tourismed, Sunshine can be a good place to experience life in multicultural communities.
10 cairns
Welcome to Cairns: the city known for being the gateway to the largest barrier reef in the world. By this explanation it is quickly understood that tourism is one of the strengths of the city. In addition to providing a quieter life for those interested in moving there, Cairns has the best overall cost of living average in comparison to the other charts/cities analyzed. The cost of public transport may not be that cheap, but housing and food make up for it by offering cheap options. Organized, extremely open to multiculturalism, clean and with a wide range of natural paradises to visit.
11 darwin
Located in the far north of the country, Darwin is a capital of the North Territory and can be your exchange destination if you really want to experience the life of the “root Australian”. Due to the dry terrain, the economy is based on tourism and mining. Darwin is also close to natural beauty in the same state as the famous Australian OUTBACK. Organized and, today, considered one of the most modern cities in Australia. Because it’s not that big and, most of the time, it’s not the first option for international students, life there is not that expensive (with the exception of food).
School education in Australia includes pre-school, elementary, high school and college. Schooling lasts 13 years, from pre-school to high school. School is compulsory until age 17 or 18.
For international students, children aged 5 or 6 (depending on each state) must be enrolled in a local school.
