Temporary Accommodation Support

– Australian Sovereign College

T.A.S. (Temporary Accommodation Support) aims to support international students to temporarily settle in Tasmania for the first 5-10 days (Maximum 10 days) and have enough time to check and take lease of their long-term accommodation since it’s becoming increasingly hard to find rental properties locally. Australian Sovereign College works with multiple local motels & hotels relieving the stress and struggle of finding a home for international students with the most affordable options.

Boarding school

Many Tasmanian Independent Schools offer boarding facilities for students aged under 18. Boarding gives you the opportunity to live in a safe, structured environment with a mix of other students from Australia and the rest of the world.

Rental

Another option for international students, is renting a flat or house. Students can rent a room, their own flat, or rent a house together with other students, known in Australia as ‘housemates’.
