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
