About AHN

AHN is the largest homestay network in Australia, and we work with students from Japan, China, Europe, South America and a range of other locations!

We’re seeing more and more international students arriving on the Gold Coast, and are actively searching for quality homestay hosts to provide accommodation for them.

One of the great experiences offered through hosting an international student is learning about other cultures as you get to share your own. Students will share their traditions, meals, and beliefs with you, and it is expected that you will include them in yours.

• Proximity: Live within 60 minutes or less (by public transport) of one of our major Gold Coast education precincts:
  • • Bond University

Host reimbursement rates include the use of internet, laundry facilities and utilities (e.g. power, water). All hosts who successfully complete the host certification process to accept AHN guests are automatically covered under AHN’s insurance policy.
