Moving Away From Home

Are you Moving Away from Home to go to University or Employment 

Moving away from home can be exciting.

It's a chance for you to gain independence, meet people and have new experiences.

There is also a lot of questions you might be asking yourself, like:

• Do I want to leave?
• where am I going to live?
• What type of accommodation will I live in?
• How will meet people?
• Will I have enough money to support myself?

The MoneySmart website moneysmart.gov.au has plenty of information and advice on simple ways to manage your money, including a guide for young people leaving home for the first time.

The Country Education Foundation website publish a Uni Survival Guide to help with your move from home cef.org.au/university-survival-guide.
