Homestay with Aussie Interact

with our Homestay Program

Homestay is a great opportunity to experience our culture and customs, make new friends and a fantastic introduction to Australian life and the English Language.

Our Homestay program is renowned for being one of the best in Cairns.
We carefully recruit, interview, screen and select Cairns host families and
have a large base of pre-selected Cairns families to draw from.

We offer support to both the students and host families and provide
24 hour emergency assistance upon request.

Our friendly Aussie Interact Staff can arrange for you to be met at the airport and assist with your needs.

There are many details that we are happy to cater to in order for each student to feel
as comfortable as possible during their time in Cairns. We are confident that we can meet
your high standards by facilitating excellent programs.
