Homestay Provider

Some homestay providers choose not to seek a fee for their assistance to an overseas student; this may be because they are a friend or family member.

For homestay providers who seek a payment for their support, the following are available as options:

• You may negotiate and arrange the payment (what it is and how it is paid) directly between yourself and the overseas student family.  In this you may set your own fees (provided they are reasonable) for each night of accommodation for the student, and for any travel.   The School does not assume any legal liability or responsibility for fee negotiation or payment arrangements between the family and you, if you choose this option.
• The School offers a system whereby the School will make payment directly to a homestay provider for homestay accommodation (and travel) of a student, at rates set by the School.  These amounts are then on charged to the student, through the student account. 

Please let the Overseas Student Manager know if this is your preferred approach to payment of homestay fees.  The Overseas Student Manager will provide you a copy of the School’s rates directly.
