This year's Cost of Living Report shows just how sharply rising expenses are impacting ANU students. With over 300 responses from students, the findings are clear: housing, food, healthcare, and transport are placing significant strain on students' wellbeing and academic participation. Canberra remains one of the most expensive rental markets in the country. Food insecurity is widespread across the student body, and instability in on-campus healthcare options, combined with transport pressure such as parking fee hikes and limited public transport options within campus, further compound these challenges.

The report calls for a stronger, whole-of-institution response, expanded financial assistance, improved healthcare access and communication, more affordable housing options, and genuine student consultation on decisions that affect the cost of living. Student shouldn't be priced out of their education.
