Have you ever imagined what it would be like to study in a country where you can surf in the morning and attend classes in the afternoon? Or work legally while earning a globally recognized degree? Australia is exactly that magical place that combines exceptional quality of life, first-rate education and incredible opportunities for Brazilian students. Let's find out together what this journey really is like?
A country that embraces Brazilian students
Australia isn't just an exchange destination — it's the country that best welcomes international students in the world. Do you know why? Because they know that diversity makes everything better, including education.
With more than 30,000 Brazilian students spread across the country, you'll never be alone. But at the same time, you will have the opportunity to meet people from all over the world. Just imagine how many stories you'll have to tell! O Study and Work in Australia program by Be Easy was developed with this complete experience in mind.
Education that works in practice
Forget that story of memorizing formulas that you'll never use. In Australia, the business is quite different. Universities work hand in hand with companies to create courses that prepare you for the real market.
This means that you will:
- Work on practical projects from the first semester
- Have access to state-of-the-art laboratories and equipment
- Participate in internships at renowned companies
- Learn from teachers who are also active professionals
Work while studying? Of course you can!
One of the coolest things about Australia is that you can work legally from the first day of school. It's 24 hours a week during classes and 40 hours a week during vacation. With a minimum wage of AUD 24.95 per hour (one of the highest in the world!) , you can afford a large part of your expenses.
But it's not just a matter of money. Working in Australia is an opportunity to:
- Practicing English on a daily basis
- Do professional networking
- Gain international experience in the curriculum
- Get to know real Australian culture
The sectors that employ the most students are hospitality, retail, agriculture, and services. Best of all, you have the same employment rights as any Australian.
The lifestyle that will conquer you
The Australian lifestyle is like this: balanced, outdoors and with a lot of quality. Australians are passionate about:
- sports: soccer, rugby, cricket and surfing are part of the local DNA
- Natureza: over 400km of bike paths in Canberra alone, paradisiacal beaches and national parks
- Café: coffee culture is taken very seriously (and it's delicious!)
- BBQ: the famous “barbies” that take place on any occasion
And do you know what's the coolest? As a Brazilian, you will adapt super easily to the climate and the relaxed way of Australians.
Cities that are true theme parks
Each Australian city has its own unique personality:
Sydney she's that extroverted friend who wants to party every night. Opera House, Harbor Bridge, Bondi Beach - postcard everywhere.
Melbourne She is the group's intellectual. Full of art, hidden cafés, and a cultural scene that never stops.
Brisbane It's the balanced one. It has beaches, top universities and the lowest cost of living.
Perth She's the adventurer. Movie beaches and wild nature just a few minutes from the city.

Government that invests in you
The Australian government doesn't play service when it comes to international education. They created the Australian Strategy for International Education 2021-2030, which has four main pillars:
- Diversification: more opportunities for students from all over the world
- Alignment with the market: courses that prepare for trending professions
- Students at the center: you are the number one priority
- Global competitiveness: to be a world reference in education
This translates into policies that make life easier for international students. Streamlined visa processes, more postgraduate work opportunities, and heavy investment in educational infrastructure.
How much does this dream cost?
Studying in Australia has its costs, but with planning and job opportunities, it's much more affordable than you think.
Approximate monthly costs:
- Rent: AUD 800-1,200 (depending on city and type of accommodation)
- Food: AUD 400-600
- Shipping: AUD 150-200
- Lazer: AUD 200-300
But remember the good part: working 24 hours a week, you can cover a good part of your expenses! For tips on how to save on housing and find the best options, check out our guide on student accommodation in Australia.
Universities that are the world's top
Australia doesn't play games when it comes to quality education. There are 9 Australian universities among the 100 best in the world in the QS 2024 ranking. Australian institutions stand out worldwide in areas such as:
- Engineering and Technology
- Life Sciences and Medicine
- Natural Sciences
- Arts and Humanities
The process that is simpler than it seems
Many people think that studying in Australia is super complicated, but with specialized guidance, the process flows smoothly. You will need:
- Student Visa (Subclass 500)
- Confirmation of Enrollment (CoE)
- Financial proof
- Health Insurance (OSHC)
- Proficiency in English (for higher education courses)
The whole process takes between 2-3 months, and the best part is that Be Easy takes care of every detail for you. Our complete guide to Living in Australia explains everything step by step.
Opportunities that go beyond the classroom
One of the most amazing things about studying in Australia is that learning happens everywhere. You can:
- Participate in research projects with a global impact
- Exchange to other countries during the course
- Join more than 200 student clubs and societies
- Have access to mentoring with market professionals
- Participate in international competitions and hackathons
Networking that lasts forever
The friends you make during your exchange in Australia become a global network of contacts. Can you imagine having colleagues working in large companies in Sydney, São Paulo, New York, and London?
The alumni community at Australian universities is gigantic and super active. Often, a referral from an Australian college classmate can open doors you didn't even imagine.
Security that gives peace of mind to the family
Australia is consistently ranked as one of the safest countries in the world. The cities have very low crime rates, the healthcare system is excellent, and there is 24/7 support for international students.
After graduation, what happens?
Here comes one of the best parts: after graduating, you can apply for the Temporary Graduate Visa, which allows you to work in Australia for 2-4 years. That's enough time to gain valuable international experience and maybe even obtain permanent residence.
Many Brazilians who went to study ended up building their lives there. And even those who return to Brazil bring transformative professional and personal baggage.
