Brisbane is Australia's third city, with the river cutting through the centre and the Gold Coast an hour to the south. Subtropical climate: mild winters, hot 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.

WHERE TO LIVE
Three sides of Brisbane.
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.
City Centre
Brisbane CBD · South Bank · Kangaroo Point. From $300 AUD/week. River ferries at your door, South Bank pools, and most English schools within walking distance.
West End & surrounds
West End · Fortitude Valley · New Farm. From $250 AUD/week. Young and creative, brunch on every corner, bike to the centre and the city's best live music scene.
University area
St Lucia · Toowong · Indooroopilly. From $230 AUD/week. Home of the University of Queensland: green, leafy, right next to campus and a river ferry to the CBD.

What are you going to do here?
Work
A city that's easy to live in.
Brisbane is Australia's third city, with a diverse and growing economy. The 2032 Olympics are accelerating hiring in construction, hospitality and tourism. Cafés, retail and services recruit international students all year round.
LIFESTYLE
Catch 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 big city.
Brisbane has a reputation as Australia's friendliest city: locals talk to you at the bus stop, in the queue, at brunch. International students cluster around West End, South Bank and Fortitude Valley, where you build your community fast.
