# AusBridge Homestay

> AusBridge Homestay is a service that places international students and young visitors with Australian households in and around Melbourne. Every host family is visited in person, screened, and briefed before a student arrives. The service includes inspection of the student's room against set standards, written terms before payment, shared meals and family life, and ongoing support with scheduled check-ins and a named contact. The team is based in Melbourne and can visit homes in person, distinguishing it from online listing sites. Safety measures include background checks on hosting adults and Working Children checks where required.
