Accommodation options

Note: If not staying with a parent or nominated relative, students must choose either on-campus student accommodation or Homestay.

On-campus accommodation

Approved Monash on-campus student accommodation options for students under the age of 18 are:

  • Clayton - Halls of Residence (Farrer, Richardson, Roberts, Howitt, Deakin), Normanby House and Mannix College
  • Caulfield - International Mews
  • Berwick - Halls of Residence
  • Gippsland - West and South Residences
  • Peninsula - The Village

For more information on these options, see the Monash Residential Services website.

Homestay

Homestay is a form of accommodation in which a person from overseas lives with a family in a host country and gives reimbursement for the Homestay service. Monash will approve a Homestay arrangement when no more than three students are staying at the accommodation. Where accommodation is provided and rent paid for four or more persons, this is defined as a Rooming House under the Victorian Residential Tenancies Act 1997.

Homestay Accommodation Service (HAS) is the preferred Monash Homestay accommodation provider.

Exceptional circumstances

In exceptional circumstances, an arrangement outside of on campus accommodation or Homestay can be approved. In support of an application for exceptional circumstances, you must provide a letter from your parents, in English or with a certified translation, supporting the proposed accommodation arrangement. After receiving the application, Monash will determine whether approval can be given for the proposed accommodation and welfare arrangement.
