“As first-time Homestay parents, we were not quite sure what to expect when we welcomed our 17-year-old Japanese student into our home.  We need not have worried – we all had the best time!  Our student was so polite and appreciative, and fully embraced family life with great enthusiasm, including our dogs, who loved him!  We explored all kinds of things in our local area together and discovered lots of places we didn’t know about.  It was fun and we made a new friend we will never forget!  We are looking forward to welcoming more Homestay students into our home in the future.” Wendy, BROWNS Homestay family.

Our homestay families will need to provide the following:

  • A private bedroom with a study desk, lamp and Wi-Fi
  • Two meals Monday to Friday (breakfast and dinner) and three meals on the weekend. There are other placements that require three meals each day however this is paid at a higher rate.
  • Live within 50 minutes public transport to/from BROWNS’ Brisbane or Gold Coast campus
