ACCOMMODATION

There are a range of accommodation options available in Australia to suits your needs and budget. The most common types of accommodation are homestay, student accommodation and rentals.

HOMESTAY

Homestay gives you the opportunity to live with an Australian family in their home. Homestay can be a great option for younger students as you will have a supportive family environment and a home away from home. Some homestay options include meals and others are self-catered, so you can choose an option that best suits your needs.

STUDENT ACCOMMODATION

Specialised student accommodation facilities can be a great place to live in a communal atmosphere and meet other local and international students. In most student accommodation you’ll rent a private room in a dormitory-style environment and share common facilities such as living areas and kitchens with your fellow students. Many student accommodation facilities also have in-house Residential Coordinators (RAs) who organise social, cultural and sporting activities for residents.

RENTALS

Another accommodation option is to rent your own unit or room in a shared apartment, flat or house. In a rental arrangement, each person usually has their own bedroom and shares the bathroom, kitchen and living areas with housemates. Many students choose student accommodation or homestay for their first semester and then move onto rental accommodation once they’ve settled into the area and have a better idea of where they’d like to live and the type of accommodation they’d prefer.

HEALTH COVER

Australia has a system of health cover for international students called Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC). International students studying in Australia must have health and medical insurance for the length of their student visa.

TAFE Queensland has an arrangement with OSHC Allianz Global Assistance to provide TAFE Queensland students with the appropriate health cover. Details will be provided in your Letter of Offer, however you also have the option to arrange your own cover if you wish.

This insurance covers you for general medical treatment or hospital care in Australia. A number of additional services including dental, physiotherapy, optometry, podiatry, chiropractic and private hospital services may require you to purchase extra cover from your OSHC provider.

Further information is available on the OSHC Allianz Global Assistance website oshcallianzassistance.com.au
