If you do require lunches during the week some families are able to supply this for a minimal extra cost. Always let your family know if you have any food dislikes or allergies. You can drop hints about your favourite foods too. You must stay with your Homestay for at least 4 weeks. On leaving Homestay the host must be given 2 weeks notice or paid 2 weeks in lieu of notice.
All family members help around the home.
Each morning make your bed and tidy your room. You will be helped to change your bed linen weekly. The operation of the washing machine will be explained to you and you may use the iron and ironing board. In Australia most families put washing outside to dry, not in dryers. Never hang wet clothes in your room or bathroom.
