Homestay
Chinese中文 / English英文 / Japanese日本
As part of the cultural program, the Australian Centre arranges homestays in local households so that the overseas student groups have the opportunity to experience family life in Australia and discover more about the city of Melbourne in an English-speaking environment. It is also a great opportunity for host families to learn more about other cultures. Our programs focus on cultural interaction and exchange, and it is a wonderful environment for ESL students to practice their language skills, as well as a popular option for students from other English-speaking countries.
Our current hosting period is in February and March, with foriegn student groups residing for 3 to 4 weeks duration. We typically contact homestays in November for the new round of host placements in the coming year.
