ITAGC COLLEGE staff may assist students in accommodation issues, but have no obligation to provide accommodation to students. 

Accommodation Options

Students may choose to live in either rented accommodation or home stay with an Australian family. Rented accommodation options are detailed below. The ITAGC College Student Services Officer on each campus will personally discuss with each student their needs and tailor a specific accommodation package to suite their individual needs.

Home-stay Option

A very rewarding option for overseas students is to stay with an Australian family. Living in a family environment, students are able to practice and perfect their English language skills in real life situations whilst sharing in the daily life of their host family.

Home-stay students living on the Gold Coast enjoy the security of a safe and friendly family environment. There they can live and enjoy all the benefits of being part of a family living close to the beach in the beautiful Gold Coast sunshine.

Other Accommodation

This may be shared accommodation, serviced apartments, boarding houses and hostels. Prices vary according to the level of accommodation chosen and on whether students wish to share or live alone. Prices for other accommodation from $AUD130 upwards per week for shared accommodation.
