Study Tours

Study Tours are short periods of Homestay accommodation. (Maximum of two weeks)

Study tours are subject to change at short notice.

Changes can be due to a number of reasons which are considered on a case by case basis.

There is no minimum set time for Notice to Vacate for Study Tours (only long term Homestay requires Two Weeks notice ) This is clearly stated in our Terms & Conditions)

If a student has to be moved from a Homestay Host, payment will go to the Host for ONLY the period of time that the student is actually at the residence .

Since minimum Notice to Vacate is not required for a Study Tour, Homestay Australia is not liable to make any payment to the Host after the student has left.
