Why Students Choose Australia
Australia is a popular destination for international students. It has a strong education system, major cities with a lot to offer, and good post-study work options. It's home to the Group of Eight (Go8) universities, known for research and academic strength. Studying in Australia does mean showing proof of enough funds to meet visa rules, and an education loan can make that planning easier.

Living Expenses and Accommodation
The Australian government sets a minimum amount you need to show for living costs. Right now, that requirement is over AUD 24,000 per year for a single student.
This amount needs to cover accommodation (which costs more in cities like Sydney or Melbourne than in regional areas like Adelaide or Perth), groceries, transport, and utilities. A loan from GradsLoan's partners can cover all of this mandated amount, along with your tuition and Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC).
Postgraduate Education Loans
Most Indian students going to Australia study for a postgraduate degree, usually a Master's. Lenders view postgraduate students favorably since they're closer to starting work.
If you're applying for a Master's in a high-demand field like IT, Engineering, Data Science, or Nursing, you have a better chance of getting favorable loan terms, especially without collateral. Lenders look at your future job prospects and the value of your specific program and university.
