Short Term/Temporary Accommodation/Homestay
CQUniversity has teamed up with the Australian Homestay Network (AHN) to give international students the opportunity to be hosted by a specially trained AHN homestay host for their introduction to accommodation and living in Australia. Homestay is a wonderful way to share a unique cultural experience. AHN Homestay hosts will help you with life in Australia, and advise you of general safety, accommodation and welfare information. AHN offers students a better quality and secure homestay experience. All of AHN homestay hosts have undergone extensive training, police checks (as required), are personally interviewed and homes professionally inspected. Other benefits include Insurance to protect you and your belongings while in homestay, and a professional 24/7 helpline including interpreter services should you ever need assistance.
Homestay is an excellent way to make new local friends, learn quickly and safely about local customs and ways, and generally make your transition from your home country to Australia smoother and more comfortable. Most Homestay families will be happy to become your referees which will be useful when you decide to rent a flat or apply for jobs. It can also save you a considerable amount of time when you don't have to search for information (many of your questions or problems can be addressed by your Homestay family), buy food, keep track of bills, etc.
