I went on a day scuba diving trip to the great barrier reef at the start of the year and loved it! But Im putting off doing my certification because i know i wont be able to buy my own equipment untill i finish uni. My question is do many people scuba dive regularly with borrowed equipment, or is it really nessery to own your own gear??
It’s a matter of preference and economics. As a general rule of thumb though you definitely want to buy your own regulator, mask, fins and snorkel. You might also want to consider buying your own wetsuit as well if you’ll be diving in cooler waters.

There are a lot of people that rent about all of their gear from a dive shop. You can also pick up gear on craigslist.com if you can find what you want.
I have purchased most of my gear used, and service it myself.
I do purchase new my mask, as this has to fit, none are made to fit all, no matter what they say.
