Short-term accommodation

Where to stay for a few days or weeks

New to Sydney? You may need temporary housing while you find a longer term home. The University has partnered with select hotels in Sydney to offer students discounts on temporary accommodation.

Short-term housing

If you're moving from interstate or overseas, you may need a temporary base while you find a longer term home.

There are several options available for short-term stays. Some of the on-campus colleges also offer short-term stays during the winter and summer vacations. 

We have listed a few options below for you to look at. Remember to book your accommodation in advance and make your own enquiries about the suitability and condition of the accommodation.

If you need to move urgently, please contact Accommodation Services. We will help you with options for moving, or provide information about emergency and short-term housing.

Financial Support Services can help enrolled students with essential living costs.

The University has partnered with select hotels in Sydney to offer students discounts on temporary accommodation. Students must provide proof of current enrolment to be eligible for the discount.

All accommodation has been checked to make sure it is of a high standard and provides a supportive family environment.

A fully trained supervisor will match you with a suitable homestay host according to your needs and location preference.

Homestay arrangements can vary, but through our AHN partnership you can expect to receive:

  1. a clean furnished room (this includes items like a bed, desk, wardrobe, chair and a study lamp)
  2. a supportive family environment to live in
  3. meals (as specified) and accommodation including utilities
  4. ongoing homestay host and student support
  5. 24/7 professional phone support from AHN
  6. contents insurance for students and hosts as per AHN's insurance policy
  7. bathroom and laundry facilities

Homestay hosts are trained to assist you:

  • settle into your new community
  • understand the basics of Australian culture
  • gain everyday conversational skills
  • learn the basics such as buying transport tickets
  • help you with banking, internet, mobile phones and provide guidance on personal safety.

Please visit the the under-18 international student visa holder page for information about homestay providers.
