International student accommodation is as varied as the requirements of students themselves! Perth has different options to suit your needs.
If you are a secondary school student, you must live in a homestay with an Australian family or in the school’s boarding facilities.
If you are aged 18 years or older, you can choose to live on-campus, in a homestay or in a shared rental house/apartment with other students or friends.
You may even choose to stay at one of Perth's dedicated student accommodation providers: Campus Perth, Yugo The Boulevard or The Switch.
Tips for your search
Here are some factors to consider when finding your perfect home:
- Proximity to your education provider
- Proximity to public transport and associated travel costs

As technology advances, so does the risk of getting scammed. Warning signs of rental scams include:
- Rent price is listed as being significantly cheaper than similar accommodation in the area
- Being asked to pay a bond or deposit or sign a lease before viewing the property
- Being asked for personal details such as your bank and credit card numbers
- Property doesn't match the photos or description upon inspection
- Landlord makes excuses to prevent you from viewing the property
- Landlord requests money via money transfer
Before you sign your lease, make sure that you:
- Have sufficient funds to cover the bond
- Arrange a reference or guarantor
- Inspect the property for its existing condition and any issues
- Receive and keep a copy of your rental agreement
- Receive a receipt for all rent and bond payments
- Read the fine print of your rental agreement
