Support Description
Accommodation

There is a wide range of accommodation options available to international students in Queensland, including:

  • Home stay is a popular type of accommodation. Students live with Australian families who provide a furnished room and three meals a day.
  • Rental accommodation is available to international students across Queensland. Price will vary depending on the type, standard and location of the property.
  • Sharing with other students is a popular option because it reduces living expenses and fosters a supportive environment. The price for accommodation varies on the type, standard and location.

TAFE Queensland can help you find accommodation to suit your needs. There are a number of companies that can help you to identify accommodation.

Counselling

TAFE Queensland provides international students with access to professional counselling services. Short term counselling services are confidential and free of charge. TAFE offers personal and vocational counselling too.

Personal counselling is available to help you resolve personal problems affecting your study and progress. This may include possible challenges of living in a new country, relationship difficulties, your personal welfare or harassment issues.

Vocational guidance counselling helps you clarify your goals and make the best study choices.

Job and career services

Employment officers may be available to assist you to get in touch with employers to arrange work experience or find part time work while studying.

Employment officers can also help with resume preparation, interview skills, job applications, online job searches and other employment information.
