The Perfect Start for International Students

Western Australia (WA) is safe and full of opportunity for international students. It’s not only a top education destination – it’s a great place to live with amazing landscapes, a growing multicultural community and plenty for students to discover.

Hello! G’day! Welcome!

The Australian Homestay Network (AHN) connects students with friendly local host families who offer a safe, supportive environment as students settle in and prepare to begin their studies.

Hosts welcome students into their home and provide a comfortable space for them to learn about Australian culture, become familiar with their new surroundings, and develop a local network while they live and learn in Perth.

Testimonials

As a former international student, I enjoy creating the opportunity to give that experience back. Having students from other countries enriches our cultural awareness at home.
