HomeFees and Charges

Fees and Charges

Fees for our courses vary depending on the course and the citizenship/residency status of the student. The table below will assist you in determining which fees apply to you. All Moore College students, both domestic and international, may seek financial support through the College including the Student Support Fund and Scholarships and Bursaries (see Financial Support for more information). In addition, domestic students may be eligible for financial assistance from the Australian government.

Tuition fees for the following year are published at the end of September. Tuition fees for International Students are set in advance for the full duration of their course.

Accommodation Charges
Single Students

The 2025 Residential Rental rate is $389 per week (includes rent, meals, utilities and internet) for single students accommodated at John Chapman House or other Moore College properties. Appointments are required to collect keys from the Concierge Desk and payment of the following will be required at that time:

  • Deposit for keys: $40
  • Room bond: $250 

Single Students are charged the standard weekly rate during term time (which is inclusive of accommodation, meals, internet and utilities) and varied amounts during vacation, depending on occupancy and meals consumed. Meals are not offered over the Summer vacation.  

Married Students

Rental rates vary with the type of accommodation. The majority of college housing are 2 bedroom units or townhouses located at Newtown, Croydon Park or Parramatta. Rental Charges range between $350 – $650 across the 3 locations. Other one off charges include: 

  • Security Cleaning Fee: $250 
  • Pet Bond (with application): $250

Married Students are charged rent for the whole year including vacation periods. Rental amounts vary, according to location, number of bedrooms and other attributes.  

Payment Process

Accommodation charges for both married and single students are applied weekly, and bank accounts are charged fortnightly where Direct Debit is set up.  

Students can also choose to pay via BPAY, Direct Transfer or EFTPOS/Credit Card at the Concierge Desk.

If students choose to pay via cash, they need to make an appointment with the Finance team. Cash is not accepted at the Concierge Desk.  

Single students are sent their account statement at the end of each vacation period to pay via direct deposit or BPAY. Amounts owing for vacation periods are not automatically deducted. All accommodation fees must be paid in full upon exiting college accommodation. 

Cost of living while studying

Studying at Moore College can be costly, so students need to carefully consider expenses and plan how they will fund their education before applying. This is especially important for international students, whether single or with a family.

General information

Things to be aware of:

  • The Student Support Fund has been established to help students raise funds while they’re at College.
  • Scholarships are available; however, they are competitive and will not cover all your expenses.
  • Full-time study at Moore College is demanding and students should not assume they will be able to perform paid work during study periods (other than a paid church ministry role). International students should check the conditions on their visa regarding work while in Australia.
  • If you are travelling with a spouse and/or family, they will also need visas and proof that they can support themselves, or be supported financially.
  • Australia is a country with a high standard of living and hence relatively high expenses for accommodation, food, travel, education, medical and incidental expenses.

Starting from 10 May 2024, international student visa applicants are required to demonstrate a minimum savings of AU$29,710 to cover their annual living expenses. Additional funds will be necessary for those with accompanying family members. For more information, please refer to  Department of Home Affairs website.

The Cost of Living Calculator is designed to help you estimate the expenses associated with maintaining your desired lifestyle in Australia.

Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) must be covered for the entire stay in Australia from the date of arrival, from an approved Australian health insurance provider. Single OSHC costs around $3,300 for a four-year program.

To help you plan your budget before starting at Moore College, here is a budget planner to assist you in your planning. The average living costs for students are roughly between AU$1,400 and AU$2,500 every month.

If you’re an international student with school-age children, you would need to consider additional costs (e.g. primary school-age children need to pay fees of about $15,000 per year, per child).

Other helpful links

The following are some helpful websites that might assist you:

  • A helpful summary of Australian Government Support that’s available for students.
  • The following budget planner can be used to estimate your income and expenses.
  • Some of this information from Sydney University could be of assistance to you in managing your budget whilst at College.
  • Please also review the following website for visa conditions if you are planning to work whilst studying in order to generate income.
  • Students with a Centrelink Health Care Card can apply for Saver Plus. This provides $500 towards educational costs such as laptops, tablets and textbooks in a matched savings program.
