Homestay

About Homestay

Homestay is a safe and affordable accommodation arrangement for students. Students stay with an Australian family or host who provide them with their own bedroom.
Accommodation in homestay is a wonderful opportunity to learn and practice English.

Breakfast and dinner are usually provided 7 days a week, and lunch only on Saturday and Sunday if you are at home.

Homestay is not a hotel. Your host will want to learn about you and your country. Homestay is a great way to get to know about daily Australian life.

Your internship location & interests will be considered when matching you with a suitable host family

*We have received many reports of accommodation scams.
Students find fantastic apartments for excellent prices on various websites. After enquiring online, the landlord asks for a deposit to be paid into a specific account and explains that the ‘room key will be available on arrival’. The landlord is ‘ALWAYS’ unavailable to meet you in person and is usually ‘away overseas’. BE CAREFUL WHEN SENDING ANY MONEY IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE ROOM FOR YOURSELF.
