…more about Homestay Accommodation

“That every student who participates in an ISCA study program in Australia WILL return!”

Part of that reason will be to visit their Australian family – a special relationship that can last a lifetime.

As a requirement of the Australian Government, students under 18 years of age MUST stay in homestay accommodation that is approved by the Australian college or school, or be living with a direct relative. ISCA undertakes the supervision of homestay accommodation on behalf of the school or college.

Students over 18 years of age can also stay in homestay accommodation or alternative accommodation. The style of accommodation recommended by ISCA will depend on the study program chosen, the age of the student and the personal requirements of the overseas student/family.

ISCA provides Complete Homestay Accommodation Service to Primary & High School Students, TAFE students, Language school students

• Customised individual service: we take into account special interests of each student, sporting or academic requests. For example, if applicant is interested in music or soccer, we place him/ her in a school specialising in this.
• Homestay family: carefully selected and interviewed. We try to match student’s interests & personality to homestay family as much as possible. However, if the chemistry is to working out, (maybe 1% of the time) we would move the student to another homestay family.

Special care for students under the age of 18 years:
ISCA provides a 24 hour a day, 7 days-a-week support to the overseas student and the Australian homestay family. Selected Australian families give the best care, support and single room hospitality that will satisfy the cultural experience during the student’s stay in Australia.
