Become a host in Brisbane with EF

Every year a large number of international students travel to Brisbane on a language course with EF. Located along the lazy Brisbane River and a short distance from the coast, Brisbane’s surroundings are quintessentially Australian and that is exactly why the students travel here. They come to Brisbane to immerse themselves in the local culture, create new friendships and improve their English skills.

During their time abroad they are looking for a safe and comfortable home away from home and for years our host families in Brisbane have been providing them with exactly that. Join the host family Brisbane program and get a unique, rewarding, fun and educational experience for all members of the family.

• Help someone from another country realize their dream. Making international friends for life in the process.

• Encourage cultural awareness and global understanding in your community.
• Make the most of your spare room(s) by welcoming students into your home for either a short or long term stay – you choose!

• EF provides international students the opportunity to explore another language and culture during language programs in Australia.
• With our language programs, students study from Monday to Friday. We also offer a full activity schedule with organized trips and suggestions for things to do in the city – we keep our students busy.
• Host families can have a preference for which gender of student, age group (16-17 or 18+), and length of stay they would like to host – due to the high volume of students we can be flexible to match your requirements.
• Our local staff is here every step of the way, offering 24/7 support and work to make this an exceptional experience for our wonderful families and international students.

Our host families come in all shapes and sizes. You are expected to provide a bed, three meals a day, transportation to a conveniently located meeting point and, most importantly, a stable, caring environment.
