Homestay accommodation
Living in a homestay can be a valuable part of your experience in Geelong. It provides you with the
opportunity to experience Australian life and to improve your English.
The price for homestay accommodation changes from year to year and varies according to the arrangements you make with your homestay hosts. In general, homestay accommodation costs A$265 per week, paid directly to the homestay host. There is also a homestay placement fee of A$230, which must be paid to Deakin International together with your tuition fees before your arrival.
