Off-campus accommodation support

While living on-campus is one way to experience university, many students prefer to find their own accommodation to live a more independent lifestyle. UniStays is a free service that helps you find off-campus long and short-term accommodation options, such as share-houses, apartments and granny flats.

Visit the UniStays website to search and browse accommodation listings or add a listing of a rental you have to offer.

Advocates are independent from decision-makers and do not make academic or procedural decisions. The Student Advocates work to support student progress and success. The Student Advocacy Service ensures that students are fairly represented by providing relevant information, referral and advice as well as acting as an advocate, liaison or support person.
