UTAS  Accommodation Services is currently recruiting new Homestay hosts for short- and long-term stays in Launceston.

Homestay accommodation provides a safe, caring, and rewarding environment for students studying at the English Language Centre.

It is a great way for students to experience Australian life, and learn about Australian culture. Students also benefit from practising their English with their Homestay hosts.

In Homestay accommodation, students have their own bedroom and share the family bathroom(s). Students are treated as a member of the family and are encouraged to participate in daily life and activities with the family.

The Homestay host prepares the evening meals and provides students with food to make breakfast and lunch themselves. Students are welcome to cook food from their home country and host families enjoy trying these dishes.

All Homestay hosts are visited by the Homestay Coordinator. At this meeting the hosts are advised of the Homestay guidelines and hosts must meet strict University requirements. A police check is also conducted.

The University pays Homestay hosts $430 per fortnight.

If you would like more information on the Homestay program, please email Andrea McCarron, Launceston Homestay Coordinator: Homestay.Launceston@utas.edu.au
