Homestay Direct welcomes you as a representative of our agency to accommodate an international student into your home.
We welcome new and experienced hosts to earn a tax free income while learning about other cultures.
Usually an international student has chosen to live in a homestay because they want to learn English and become familiar with our Australian culture and learn about our city while being looked after in a safe and caring environment.
Becoming a host family should be viewed only as an opportunity to earn an income by providing a service, like a casual job if you like.
Students come from all over the world, but the majority are from Asia & Middle East.
Asian, Middle Eastern and western cultures are very different and there is no “Right” or “Wrong” just different.
The host family plays a VITAL role in the successful stay of a student in our country not only for our business but also for the international education industry of Australia.
Please take a copy of our printer friendly Guidelines Booklet below (available in both pdf and word format) before filling out our Host Application Form.
International students looking for accommodation usually have 3 choices when they arrive in Australia,
- Homestay
- City Apartments
- Share Accommodation

- Experiencing and learning about the many different cultures of the world
- Little extra income for that all important holiday
The ultimate goal of students studying in Australia is to learn English and complete a university degree, therefore the aim of the Host Family should be to provide a comfortable, safe and caring learning environment. Enabling the student to complete their studies successfully.
