There are several accommodation options for international students in Australia. These include: a homestay with an Australian family if you are below 18 years old, renting privately, short term temporary accommodation, on-campus accommodation or unilodge shared accommodation. The majority of students book temporary accommodation when they first arrive in Australia. We recommend you book between 2-4 weeks of temporary accommodation prior to your arrival and commencement of your course. Once you have attended orientation, you will be given information about local accommodation options. Some students choose to share a rental house or apartment with other students as this reduces costs. It is advisable to secure accommodation with easy access to public transportation.
