A homestay experience is an excellent way for overseas students to improve their English and learn more about Australian culture. We understand that it is important to arrange homestay accommodation which provides a safe, comfortable and caring environment.
The homestay program at Impact English College is administered through a registered homestay agency along with a support team of bilingual counsellors at Impact. Together they are able to match you with a suitable family. Our homestay program staff are friendly, approachable and eager to provide counselling and follow-up support if you have any problems, concerns or questions.
