You can access the StudyPerth's Cost of Living calculator to understand exactly how much you'll need to budget when studying and living in Perth.
These are the typical prices for the following items:
- A take-away or to-go meal: AUD $12-17
- A coffee: AUD $5-7
- Public transportation: AUD $15 per week (where international students receive a 40% discount on public transport and there are free buses running from Perth CBD to UWA's Perth campus)
- A movie ticket: AUD $12-20
More information about approximate expenses in Perth can be found on the StudyPerth website.
