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 offers a range of benefits, including lifelong friendships, new adventures, and an enhanced academic and social experience.
On-campus accommodation is available at our Albury-Wodonga, Bendigo, and Melbourne campuses, with special rates for newly enrolled international students.
International students can also apply for the International Student Accommodation Grant. For more information, visit our on-campus accommodation page.
Note, all on-campus accommodation must be booked before arriving in Australia.
