Accommodation

Named the world’s most liveable city for the fifth year running, Melbourne has all the benefits of a metropolitan lifestyle with great public transport infrastructure, amazing food, cafes, culture, live music scene and nightlife whilst being within travelling distance of the iconic Great Ocean Road to see the world – renowned beach, Bells Beach and famous Australian scenery like the Twelve Apostles.

It’s no wonder people look at moving to Melbourne but we understand that the process of finding a place to live may be daunting so here is some suggestions to get students started. Student accommodation can be a great way to make new friends and you can try nonspecific institution residences such as Student Housing Australia and UniLodge and.

Alternatively you can utilise share housing via websites such as gumtree.com.au, flatmatefinder.com.au, realestate.com.au and domain.com.au.

We are happy to put up notices on internal notice boards as our students are often looking for housemates to share with. Please come and see our friendly Student Liaison Officer if you would like to utilise this service.
