We recommend securing your permanent accommodation prior to your arrival in Tasmania. Homestay with a Tasmanian family allows you to experience the real Tasmania. Our Accommodation Officer interviews all potential homestay families, checks their homes and requires police checks to make sure we use good families. All families receive a nominal payment to cover food, but are essentially normal families interested in sharing their homes with an overseas student and learning more about another country, culture and way of life. Tasmania University Union Housing Scheme provides shared, self-catered accommodation at the Hobart campus, the Scheme provides bedrooms in shared houses near the University.
Rooms are clean, comfortable and affordable.
Houses are furnished with basics - beds, wardrobes, loungeroom and kitchen furniture, refrigerator, oven and washing machine. Most shared houses have three to six bedrooms. If friends want to share, staple your application forms together when you apply.
