The Bond University Student Services and Amenities Fee aims to provide a balanced, practical approach to funding campus services and amenities of a non-academic nature, such as sporting and recreational activities, student advocacy and legal services, employment and career advice, orientation activities, and food services.

The Bond University Student Services and Amenities Fee is due for payment at the start of each semester with all other fees. Continuing students’ access carries over to the next semester. New students can access facilities and services once they are enrolled for their first semester.

Catering for students who come from all over Australia and all over the world, we offer a range of accommodation and dining options that make it easy to live and study at Bond University. This includes on-campus, off-campus, and home-stay accommodation options.

The cost of books, stationery, software and other resources tend to be the same at most universities. Allow around $300 per semester.

You may also need to consider the cost of hardware like laptops, tablets, or desktop computers. The vast majority of our students use laptops in class, and for some subjects, it may be an expectation that you have access to one. Bond University has a range of computer facilities available in multiple locations across campus.

Please note that for some programs, there may be additional associated costs to cover items and experiences.

Other costs to consider as a student include your mobile phone, transport and/or petrol, personal items, social outings, and other miscellaneous living costs. Please note that parking is free on the Bond campus but requires registration to avoid fines.

If you are living off campus in rental accommodation, you will also need to budget for:

• Rental bond: Usually the equivalent of four weeks’ rent, your rental bond is payable at the start of your lease and will be refunded when you move out, provided the premises are left in good condition.
• Meals:  You may wish to take advantage of Bond’s convenient dining plans for on-campus meals and snacks, but you will also need to budget for other meals during the week.
• Utilities:  As a tenant, you are responsible for payment of your electricity and/or gas. Some landlords also charge for water.
• Household items:  Be sure to budget for your wifi, cleaning equipment, laundry costs and other everyday items. 
• Insurance:  You may also choose to take out insurance cover for your contents and car, and possibly private health cover.

We recommend you use an online budget calculator to assist you with budgeting prior to starting university. Please note that your actual costs will vary greatly depending on your personal choices and circumstances.

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) is insurance to assist international students with meeting the costs of any medical, hospital, and emergency ambulance care required while they are in Australia. OSHC will also pay limited benefits for pharmaceutical services.

Taking out Overseas Student Health Cover is a condition of your international student visa.

To be granted an international student visa, you may need to show you have genuine access to enough money to cover your living expenses for the first year or two of studying in Australia. Visa requirements will vary based on your circumstances. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the Department of Home Affairs.

As an international student, you will also need to budget for setup and establishment costs, as well as any unexpected emergencies or health expenses.

Additional costs to consider include:

• On arrival: Airport transfers, temporary accommodation and meals.
• Setup: Linen, towels, basic homewares, a local mobile phone contract and transport.
• Travel and holidays: If you plan on travelling around Australia in your semester breaks, you will need to accommodate these costs. 
• Dependents: Costs for any dependents who may be accompanying you.

If you plan to live off campus in shared accommodation, we suggest you allow $800 - $2,000 AUD for establishment costs, including your rental bond security deposit.

Holders of a student visa with work rights may work up to 40 hours per fortnight during the semester, and full-time on holiday breaks. This will reduce the costs of living in Australia, however, you should not expect to cover tuition fees or living expenses with your earnings from casual work.
