Homestay Information
- In Australia , families are all different. Some Homestay families will be made up of a mother, father and children, whereas others might be a mother and child or a couple with no children. Some families live with extended family members such as grandparents and others don't.
- Many families have pets such as dogs and cats.
- Host families will provide 3 meals a day. Students may be expected to prepare their own breakfast and lunch with guidance from their host family.
- Not all families provide internet facilities but there are several options available to connect to these services.
- All families will provide laundry facilities
- Students are expected to pay for all their own transport costs.
- All host families speak English and have been fully informed about hosting International students according to the Griffith Homestay Code of Ethics
- Living with an Australian family can be a wonderful way of experiencing life as a member of a family whose structure is very different from your own.
- All Griffith University Homestay families live close to public transport and will assist the student with travel arrangement to and from the campuses.
- If you wish to host an under age student then all members of the families who are over the age of 18 must possess a current Blue card issued through the Childrens Commission
