Accommodation

We have a dedicated accommodation service which can give you information on your accommodation options, including temporary accommodation, university accommodation and private accommodation. We also offer an Airport Reception service from Sydney International Airport to pre-arranged accommodation.

Temporary accommodation

We can help you organise your initial temporary accommodation so that you have somewhere to stay when you first arrive if your long-term accommodation is not ready, or if you want to find accommodation after you arrive. It is essential that you organise this before you leave home.

University accommodation

Long-term campus accommodation can be booked before you arrive in Sydney, or once you arrive. All university accommodation complexes have an onsite resident adviser, who oversees the logistics, arrival, departure and pastoral care of students.
