Oz Homestay works with institutions to provide homestay placements for visitors or students to Sydney. 

These institutions include: 

    NSW Department of Education and Training- International Students Centre

    Macquarie University

    University of Western Sydney  (UWS)

    UWS College (Formerly known as SWIC)

    Pittwater House Schools

    Presbyterian Ladies College, Sydney (PLC)

    TAFE NSW

    St Scholastica's College, Sydney

We have interviewed and inspected every home on our database and we take special care to match the interests of our students to those of our families.  All homes are within 40 minutes traveling time of the institution.

Oz Homestay will meet you at Sydney Airport and transport you to your homestay family.  Along the way we will point out places of interest and also some cultural differences to assist you in settling into an Australian homestay environment.

All International students under the age of 18 years old must, by Australian Law - visa condition 8532, have a guardian whilst they are in Australia.  Various institutions have their own additional requirements in relation to guardianship, but for general guardianship conditions please see the following document:   

Guardianship Conditions

All Oz Homestay families acting as guardians have a current Working with Children clearance check and provided Oz Homestay with 100 points of identification.
