(3 meals/day everyday)

Living with a local host family offers you a unique way to experience the Australian multicultural lifestyle and culture, while you practice English. In fact, living with a Homestay family will help you with more than just the English language. You will learn about life & customs, the local coffee shops, restaurants, and fun activities that Brisbane and the Gold Coast have to offer. No one knows these things better than a Local! Staying with an Aussie family is the best way to learn about the community that you will be joining so that you can go out and discover life here with confidence.

We have an on-campus Homestay Department to assist students with settling into their ‘home’ in Australia. With hundreds of homestay families hosting Shafston students, we are able to meet just about any request, and help you if any problems may arise. All our families have been inspected and interviewed by our Homestay team prior to becoming a Shafston Homestay family. And every adult member of the household must hold a Queensland Government issued Blue Card showing that they meet Government standards for suitability to live with students and children.

A family chosen just for you…please tell us your hobbies and interests, do you like dogs or cats? Smoking or non-smoking? We will find the best family for YOU! Our Homestay staff are always available to help you settle in and help you understand the Australian way.

Choose our Airport Transfer Service and our friendly staff will take you right to the front door to introduce you to your Australian Family.
