It’s interesting and fun

- Being shown around the community
- Australian culture
- Taking part in everyday conversation
- Learning basics such as buying transport tickets; where the local shops are; how to access banking, internet and mobile phone services; and personal safety tips
- Help with English and ‘Aussie’ words and phrases
- Ongoing support and backup from the Australian Homestay Network (AHN)
Value for money
