Facilitated by UOW College, the Homestay program is designed to connect students with local families living in Wollongong. There are many benefits gained from this rich cultural exchange. Students are welcomed into homes as a new member of the family and supported as they adapt to a new culture and lifestyle.
Homestay is available to both domestic and international UOW College and UOW students.
The UOW College Homestay program adheres to the Australian National Code of Practice, which means you can be assured of consistent standards of student welfare, support services and consumer protection. After all, our goal is to make your Australian homestay experience happy and successful.
Information for studentsHomestay is available to both domestic and international students, as well as visiting professors, teachers, agents and supervising staff.
Information for hostsHomestay Hosts can be individuals, couples or families with children. We want hosts that can provide a warm, friendly and welcoming environment.
Leaving home at 17 is a challenge, but relocating to a new country alone brings even greater challenges, ones that our Homestay program aims to ease.
In Wollongong, a lively home buzzes with laughter, animated discussions, and the daily humdrum of family life.
The Homestay program has expanded our world. We've journeyed through cultures, traditions, and life experiences without ever stepping out of our front door. Alison Homestay Host
