Accommodation for international students
Explore on and off campus accommodation options
Whether you choose to live on campus or want to experience the city lifestyle, we recommend booking accommodation before you leave your home country for a hassle-free arrival in Australia.
On-campus accommodation
Living on campus provides more than just a place to stay, it’s an opportunity to build lifelong friendships, enjoy new experiences, and enhance your academic and social life.
Our on-campus accommodation is available at our Albury-Wodonga, Bendigo and Melbourne campuses, and must be booked before arriving in Australia. Explore all on-campus accommodation options or download our Accommodation Brochure [PDF 4.7 MB].
