Before you cross the river.

Brisbane is Australia's third city, with the river running through the center and the Gold Coast an hour to the south. The climate is subtropical: mild winters, warm and humid summers. TransLink covers buses, trains, and CityCat ferries with a single prepaid card. Rent is the main expense, but the city is manageable and the quality of life is among the highest in the country. See the full expense breakdown at living in Australia.

WHERE TO LIVE

Brisbane has three broad zones for international students. Where you land depends on your budget and how close to the river you want to wake up.

TESTIMONIALS

Hear it from those who are already there

One of my best discoveries in recent years. An agency that responds immediately, effective at resolving any situation, with a highly coordinated team of professionals that ensures top-quality support throughout your experience. Australia without Australian Way wouldn't have been nearly as amazing. THANKS 🫂

I had issues with my WHV in Australia and ended up moving to New Zealand, and honestly, the support has been incredible. Eduardo gives you all the confidence and the push you need to start the adventure, and it's absolutely worth it. To anyone who's on the fence, the answer is YES!

What started as a temporary experience became a profound, wonderful life change. My daughter now lives in Melbourne, has obtained Australian citizenship, and has recently been offered a place to study Medicine.

We were already at check-in, just over an hour before the flight, when they spotted an issue with the visa. We contacted them and within minutes they told us exactly what to do and had it all sorted.

They applied for my visa on July 1st and got it approved on the first try. When I arrived in Sydney, they kept supporting and guiding me throughout my entire stay.

What are you going to do here?

Work

A city where life is good

Brisbane is Australia's third city, with a diverse and booming economy. The 2032 Olympic Games are accelerating hiring in construction, hospitality, and tourism. Cafés, retail, and services recruit international students year-round. We tell you how much people actually get paid and where to look in our guide to working in Australia.

LIFESTYLE

Take the ferry to South Bank

Brisbane lives around the river: the CityCat ferries are daily transport and Streets Beach is an artificial beach right in the city centre. Gold Coast an hour to the south, Sunshine Coast to the north, and Mt Coot-tha 15 minutes from the CBD.

Community

Australia's friendliest large city

It has a reputation for being Australia's friendliest capital: locals talk to you at the bus stop, in line, at brunch. International students concentrate in West End, South Bank, and Fortitude Valley, where you build a community fast. Prefer to compare before deciding? Here you have all the cities of Australia.
