We have an on-campus Homestay Department to assist students with settling into their ‘home’ in Australia.

With over 700 homestay families hosting Shafston students, we are able to meet just about any request, and help you if any problems happen to arise.

All our families have been inspected and interviewed by our Homestay team prior to becoming a Shafston Homestay family.
