There are a number of accommodation facilities available for students in Brisbane.  Finding the right accommodation for yourself is important, as it allows you to settle into your new environment faster so you can concentrate on your studies.  and your studies faster. 

 JCU Brisbane has a

- comprehensive accommodation program. We have an extensive range of accommodation alternatives, many of which can be confirmed prior to arrival. Students using the accommodation placement service will be charged an application fee of $A220. Many students find that living with an Australian host family is the most effective way of getting to know Australia and our lifestyle. Students can choose to live with an Australian family, couple or single individual. Host families are carefully chosen to ensure that students are placed in a secure and friendly environment where they are made to feel comfortable.

 

Homestay

 

Students can choose to live with an Australian family, couple or single individual. Homestay hosts are carefully chosen to ensure that students are placed in a secure and friendly environment. All students are provided with their own single room with a comfortable bed, desk, chair and wardrobe. The families that participate in our accommodation program live close to a bus stop or train station and are approximately 20 to 30 minutes' travelling time to the campus. Students are provided with breakfast and dinner during the week and, on the weekend they are supplied with three meals a day. Students pay for their own phone calls and we suggest buying an international phone card to make international calls. If for any reason, a student is unhappy with the family they have been allocated to, we will transfer them to another family at no extra cost.

Homestay costs are: 

  • $A220* per week (up to 20 minutes travel time to campus)
  • $A200* per week (up to 40 minutes travel time to campus 
     

Rental Accommodation 

 

Rental accommodation is the preferred option for many students.  You need to expect to pay from $A150* per week, and share household expenses with your flatmates (eg. water, electricity etc)

 

Students can arrange for their own rental accommodation by using online resources such as such as
