Terms and Conditions
PAYMENT
The accommodation placement fee is non-refundable once you have been placed in a Homestay.
The accommodation placement fee is for one placement with a Homestay family. Australian Family Homestays may in some cases change your Homestay without further charge if Australian Family Homestays believes that there are reasonable grounds for you asking to change.
Payment for each seven-day (7) period is at the rate of:
Wollongong:
Placement Fee: $176.00
Weekly Rate (Single): $217.00 (or $31.00 per day)
Weekly Rate (Twin Share): $187.00 (or $27.00 per day)

You must pay your Homestay family at least two weeks in advance and promptly.
STAYING AT THE AGREED ACCOMMODATION
You must stay in your Homestay a minimum of four weeks from the date of arrival. After four weeks, if you wish to leave your Homestay, you must give either Australian Family Homestays or your Homestay family at least seven days prior notice. Where less than the required notice of departure is given, you will have to pay for the days for which notice was given.
If you have what Australian Family Homestays believe are good reasons for not being satisfied with your Homestay, you may request a transfer without 7 days notice, without penalty. If in the opinion of Australian Family Homestays the Homestay does not meet the reasonable requirements, the transfer will be made without any penalty for lack of notice.
If any misunderstandings or disputes should arise between yourself and the Homestay family please contact Australian Family Homestays.
If you do not pay any of the fees a charge which you are required to pay for staying with Homestay, your university results may be withheld.
