Living in Australia

Climate

Most cities have four seasons and the climate is mild throughout the year with an average temperature of about 18 °C. Australia also has a thin ozone layer, making the country susceptible to ultraviolet rays.

Sunscreen and sunglasses are essential, especially in the summer months.

Prices

Prices in Australia tend to be a bit high overall. Particularly, the value of water is very high because Australia does not get a lot of rainfall. Staple foods such as rice, bread and wheat are relatively cheap and can be purchased at reasonable prices, so it is possible to economize by cooking and bringing lunch boxes.

Note: Prices vary from city to city.

Public Order

Compared to other countries around the world, Australia is considered a popular and safe place to study. Gun control is strict, which makes it safer than other countries in Europe and America, but you should take precautions against pickpocketing and luggage theft. We also recommend that you avoid walking alone at night if possible.

Theft rates are high especially in crowded urban areas. Although security is considered safe from a global perspective, it is still best to be vigilant.
