GETI arranges homestay accommodation for international students in Tasmanian Government schools (aged 13-18).
Hosts can be single, a family or empty nesters – and you can choose to host for a period of time that suits your lifestyle.

- a safe, supportive & welcoming home environment
- a private, furnished bedroom inside the family home (not a separate dwelling)
- all meals and snacks
- use of utilities (i.e. water, electricity, internet and heating)
- use of facilities (e.g. TV, iron, vacuum cleaner, laundry)
We provide:
