Off-campus accommodation can be secured after arrival at the university, with the assistance of the student support services office. This is in the form of apartments or houses. On-campus accommodation is only a few minutes walk away from lecture theatres and libraries. Colleges provide single study bedrooms, common social and recreational spaces, laundry facilities and other support services along with meals. Off-campus accommodation allows students to live within the local community in a house or apartment which suits their budget.
Students can live with friends or family in their own 'home' and cook meals to their own taste.
Temporary accommodation can be arranged for a week or two on campus to allow time to find somewhere permanent. Student Support Services assist students to find a suitable residence in Brisbane. The equivalent costs incurred in Australia are waived. Foreign students are allowed to work for a maximum of 20 hours per week during the school term and full-time during vacations. You can obtain this form from the Study Abroad Office on campus.
