Why agents partner with AHN
The AHN agent login has been designed to give agents full control over their students’ applications for homestay. Agents are able to add new student applications with ease, while also monitoring the status of all their existing students. We are an Australia-wide network so you have the potential to send students all over the country.
Agent application process
Creating an agent account on AHN couldn’t be easier.
1. Email agents@homestaynetwork.org with contact details for your agency including your organisation name, full address, relevant email addresses and the regions of Australia you wish to send students to.
2. Your agent login details will be emailed to you once your account has been created.
3. When you receive your login details, you can log in by going to http://au.homestaynetwork.org/partner_login and begin adding new student applications.
As an Education Agent, why should you recommend homestay to your students?
Students will settle faster, be safer and learn about life in Australia and the expectations of students much faster. AHN Hosts also help students with a personalised one on one orientation (including assistance and advice with local transport, shopping, banking as well as introducing and assisting with networks, mentoring, ‘culturalising’ etc.).
Our experience is that better settled exchange students get better academic results and mix better with domestic students.
Beginning their adventure with AHN homestay allows students to jump right into their studies without the worries of finding housing, furniture and signing leases all from overseas. AHN hosts help students settle in to life in Australia and help them acclimatise to the different cultures, climate and lifestyle they will experience while you study here.
The utility (gas, electricity etc), internet and accommodation costs are included in weekly fees; food may be included but will depend on which Homestay product your students choose. Students don’t need to budget for multiple bills and unnecessary expenses. Homestay makes budgeting much easier.
There is no bond required! Unlike traditional accommodation options, AHN does not require a bond.
What our students say
Our homestay hosts and students have some great things to stay about their experiences. From trying new food, going on adventures with their homestay families, improving their English and feeling safe and comfortable – our hosts and guests are happy to share their experiences.
About our hosts
Homestay hosts at AHN are carefully selected to ensure that our students are placed in environments that are not only safe and comfortable but also welcoming. Our hosts come from many cultural backgrounds and are truly interested in enjoying a shared cultural experience with their students. We conduct national background checks, in-home interviews, and complete home inspections. We stay in contact with both the host and the student during the homestay period. We want all visiting students to have the most positive experience possible when beginning their educational journey in Australia.
Homes are located within a reasonable distance to the Gleeson College campus. AHN hosts are trained in intercultural relations, and emergency preparedness. Student safety and well-being is our first priority.
