ISS provides personal accommodation assistance to all international students. With the help of ISS most students find suitable permanent accommodation within a week of arriving in Brisbane. Until then you should book yourself into a temporary accommodation of your choice and let us know where you will be staying by completing the ISS Airport Reception form. Special assistance is given to new students when searching for accommodation.

Finding the right accommodation is a personal and individual choice. Therefore most rental accommodation cannot be organised before you arrive. If you would like to live in a hostel or apartment complex, that caters specifically for students, you can apply directly to them prior to your arrival.

The process of looking for a place is made easier by:

• firstly, deciding on the type of accommodation that best suits you.
• secondly, determining your budget.
• thirdly, familiarising yourself with the different suburbs and areas.

ISS provides a Info Sheet on Accommodation and related issues which you can access from here.
