International students who applied before the application closing date were eligible for up to 20 weeks accommodation with our student accommodation and homestay providers.
Accommodation was available for up to 12 weeks initially, with the potential to extend to 20 weeks.
Service NSW administered applications and allocated accommodation to homestay or purpose-built student accommodation providers.
