Accommodation
There are many options for student accommodation in Australia which range from living with a family in homestay accommodation to student residences, shared apartments, or living in your own apartment.
Australian Homestay Network (AHN)
Think: is proud to associate with AHN for the provision services for its students at all campus locations. AHN is Australia's leading homestay organisation and has set new standards in delivering successful homestay accommodation for international students in Australia.
International Students arriving in Australia for the first time are recommended to stay with an AHN trained host prior to seeking longer term accommodation. AHN offers the perfect short term and temporary accommodation choice and their program helps students with getting safely settled for their time in Australia.
Homestay is a cultural exchange between a local individual or family (called a Host) and a visiting international student. The student lives as a guest in the home. In traditional homestay, students can expect to be provided with their own room, food and space to study. The homestay hosts will assist students to become familiar with the local area and customs in a relaxed and friendly household setting. Students are encouraged to share information about their home country and culture with their AHN homestay host. After the first 4 week minimum stay period there are also numerous continuing AHN Homestay options to suit the various students' needs.

Apartment Living
Many students share apartments or live on their own. It is recommended that students arrive in Australia early in order to visit apartments and meet potential flatmates before making a commitment. You may like to book into a hostel for your first few days or a 4 week homestay and then look for share accommodation with others.
