Accommodation

Short-term accommodation

When you first arrive in Australia you may want to organise short-term accommodation in a hotel, motel or hostel while you settle into your area and look for a permanent place to live.

In hostels you can rent a bed (often a bunk bed in a dormitory style room) with shared bathroom, common areas, and sometimes kitchen facilities provided. Rooms can be mixed or single-sex, and private rooms may also be available.

In hotel, motel, or Airbnb accommodation you'll usually rent a whole room or apartment. You'll generally have your own private bathroom, and as such, the costs are usually more than staying in a hostel.

Homestay providers may also provide short-term homestay packages to help you settle in and familiarise yourself with your local area.

Homestay accommodation

Homestay gives you an opportunity to live with an Australian family in their home. Homestay can be a good 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 suits your needs.

Before accepting a homestay family, you can specify any special needs and the Homestay provider will try and find a homestay to suit. Families offering homestay accommodation are thoroughly screened to ensure they can provide a suitable living environment for students. Homestay usually costs between $200 -$300 a week depending on how many meals per day you would like.

Student accommodation

There are a range of purpose-built student accommodation providers throughout Queensland that cater for international students. This accommodation gives you a great opportunity to meet fellow students while still having your own space. Many student accommodation providers have additional facilities such as common areas, social events, and after-hours security.

Most student accommodations have features and facilities including


bedrooms with or without en suite
fully furnished options
air-conditioning
cabled internet in rooms, and wireless hotspots in lobby
in-house residential coordinators who organise social, cultural and sporting activities.
