Accommodation
Spencer Technical College’s Student Support Officers are always available for help with accommodation.
When deciding whether to rent, lease, live in or organise share accommodation, it is wise to be aware of your legal rights and responsibilities. You can find information about Renting and Your Rights and Responsibilities from the Residential Tenancies Authority at https://www.rta.qld.gov.au
Home Stay
Price range
AUD $110 – 270 / week
When studying in Australia, you may choose to be accommodated with a host family. This is one of the best ways to introduce yourself to the Australian lifestyle and culture.
Hostels
Price range
AUD $80 – $250 / week
Hostels or student accommodation give you your own room, but sometimes shared spaces such as living or bathroom. Some have meals provided, others do not.
Renting
Price range
AUD $100 – $280 / week
Rental vacancies can be found in local newspaper classifieds, local real estate agency window displays or websites like www.realestate.com.au. Good for individual living.
Shared
Price range
AUD $70 – $250 / week
Similar to a hostel or student accommodation, you’ll have your own room but share the others rooms in the house. Good for groups of friends to enjoy a bit more freedom together.
