Accommodation for international students

Explore on campus accommodation options

We recommend booking your on-campus accommodation before leaving your home country to ensure a smooth and hassle-free arrival in Australia.

On-campus accommodation

Living on campus provides more than just a place to stay, it’s an opportunity to build lifelong friendships, enjoy new experiences, and enhance your academic and social life.

Our on-campus accommodation is available at our Albury-Wodonga, Bendigo and Melbourne campuses, and must be booked before arriving in Australia. Explore all on-campus accommodation options or download our Accommodation Brochure [PDF 1.1 MB].
