Student Accommodation Australia

Student Accommodation

Australia has a large range of different accommodation options. With choices ranging from university accommodation or homestay, to self-catered apartments or share houses, there’s an option to suit every personality and budget.

Universities, TAFE institutes and other large education providers have accommodation services to provide information and advice about the different accommodation options and costs, and to help students find appropriate accommodation to suit their needs.

The accommodation service may also be able to arrange temporary accommodation for students when they first arrive. Students have the option of contacting their institution’s accommodation service before their arrival in Australia to organise this.

Different types of accommodation are obviously subject to different costs and availability. The type of accommodation you choose influences how much you will have to pay and how early you will have to arrange it. For instance, university halls of residence are generally very popular and require students to apply for a room well in advance, whereas rental accommodation is generally readily available and can be organised when you arrive.

Please note: prior to arrival you should contact the accommodation service at the Australian institution you will be studying at and ask about the accommodation options available and the costs involved.
