Information for International students

CHARLTON BROWN® warmly welcomes international students to its campuses.

Some information is provided below to help you as students from overseas.

If you are interested in studying with us, please complete an Application form or contact us for more information.

Health cover

As an international student, Australia’s national health program (Medicare) does not cover you. A requirement of your visa is to purchase an Overseas Student Health Coverage (OSHC) prior to your entry into the country. CHARLTON BROWN® has an arrangement with the Australian Health Management, otherwise known as AHM.

CHARLTON BROWN® will incorporate the cost of your Overseas Student Health Cover into the cost of your course (please note that prices currently listed on our website are excluding OSHC). The cost of OSHC will vary depending on the length of your course and visa.

For more information on AHM please visit their website. AHM’s website has 'Frequently Asked Questions' in a variety of languages and also has an interpreter service available.

Living in Brisbane

Brisbane definitely lives up to its reputation of Australia’s most livable city, and delivers a premium lifestyle at an affordable price with a convenience other cities can’t compete with.
Bustling boutique shopping districts transform into thriving night spots as the working day ends and party time starts, and the trade mark laidback fun-having attitude of Queenslanders gets put on show.

Not into the crowds? Head to one of the many iconic beaches that are a short drive from the city and soak up some the vibrant beach life.

A strong multicultural community makes the city rich with ethnic events, which compliment the myriad of other festivals and activities the city council run to make the most of the weather, and outdoor facilities, in Australia’s most liveable city.

Weekly cost of living in Brisbane (approximate only, costs may vary depending on specific living arrangement).
