Accommodation Options

As an international student, you have a number of accommodation options in South Australia to choose from. These include:

Homestay Accommodation

Homestay accommmodation can provide you with the 'real Australian experience". You can share a home with an Australian family (with or without children/pets). All meals are provided and shared facilities.

If you are interested in homestay accommodation, you should contact your International Student Office, and ask for details of people who provide this service.
Cost is approximately AUS$140,00 - $170,00 per week including meals.

Share Accommodation

If you are looking to share accommodation with other students or Australians, we suggest looking at the Notice Board in your Student Services area or contact a Real Estate Agent in the suburb/town you wish to live in.

The cost will vary according to the size of the home and the location from AUS$70,00 - $180,00 per week rent. Additional expenses such as electricity, food, gas, and telephone are divided equally.

Rental Accommodation

If you would like to rent your own house, apartment, flat or share accommodation, again we suggest asking your local Real Estate Agent.

The cost will vary depending upon the size of your home. You will be required to sign a lease agreement for a period of time. For more information see the Rental Accommodation section.
