ACCOMMODATION AND HEALTH COVERTHERE ARE A RANGE OF ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS AVAILABLE IN AUSTRALIA TO SUIT YOUR NEEDS AND BUDGET. THE MOST COMMON TYPES OF ACCOMMODATION ARE HOMESTAY, STUDENT ACCOMMODATION AND RENTALS.

HOMESTAY

Homestay gives you the opportunity to live with an Australian family in their home. Homestay can be a great option for younger students as you will have a supportive family environment and a home away from home. Some homestay options include meals and others are self-catered, so you can choose an option that best suits your needs.

STUDENT ACCOMMODATION

Specialised student accommodation facilities can be a great place to live in a communal atmosphere and meet other local and international students. In most student accommodation you will rent a private room in a dormitory-style environment and share common facilities such as living areas and kitchens with your fellow students. Many student accommodation facilities also have in-house Residential Assistants (RAs) who organise social, cultural and sporting activities for residents.

RENTALS

Another accommodation option is to rent your own unit or room in a shared apartment, flat or house. In a rental arrangement, each person usually has their own bedroom and shares the bathroom, kitchen and living areas with housemates. Many students choose student accommodation or homestay for their first semester and then move onto rental accommodation once they have settled into the area and have a better idea of where they would like to live and the type of accommodation they would prefer.

For more detailed information on the different accommodation options available across our campus locations, please visit our website or scan QR code below.

HEALTH COVER
