About Australian Homestay Network


AHN has placed over 100,000 guests from 185 countries in homestays across Australia

We conduct training, in-home interviews and background checks for hosts to ensure guests are in safe hands

Full support for guests, hosts and agents from a local homestay co-ordinator backed by a network of nationwide staff and a 24/7 hotline

Why should you choose homestay?


Settle in more easily and learn about local culture and the Australian lifestyle. Your AHN host will provide you with a personalised one-on-one orientation including advice about transport, shopping and banking options as well as helping you to develop a local network.

Beginning your time in Australia with AHN homestay allows you to jump right into your work without the worries of finding housing, furniture and signing leases while overseas.

Utilities (gas, electricity, etc.) and accommodation costs are included in your Weekly Fees. Food may be included but will depend on which homestay product you choose. You don’t need to budget for multiple bills and unnecessary expenses. Homestay makes budgeting much easier.

Unlike traditional accommodation options, AHN does not require a bond or long-term contract.
