AS A HOST YOU:
Contact Australia Homestay Pro if you intend to be away from the home at any time and ensure that care and welfare responsibilities are in order for the student. Please provide as much notice as possible so alternate accommodation arrangements can be made if necessary.
Not accept or agree to any offer of direct payment if approached directly by the student and/or their family and/or their educational agent. Australia Homestay Pro will consider this action as a direct contravention of this agreement and de-registration may follow.
Notify Australia Homestay Pro immediately of any unusual payments (e.g. delayed or overpayment/underpayment) made to your account. Any overpayment must be returned to Australia Homestay Pro within 5 working days.
Understand that a minimum of 2 weeks written notice must be given to Australia Homestay Pro by you or the student/agent to terminate the homestay contract. Either party will be entitled to a payment/refund of up to 2 weeks homestay fees if the full notice period is not adhered to. Students under the age of 18 must receive approval before leaving the homestay and official notice will be provided to both parties by Australia Homestay Pro.
Understand that relocation fees will apply to move a student. The Host Family or the student will be responsible for the relocation costs. The party liable for the costs will be determined depending on the circumstances. Should you wish to ask student to leave, you will be responsible for the cost to relocate the student, regardless of the reason.
Ensure that you notify Australia Homestay Pro if there is any change in your family situation such as change in marital status, new pets, family members and/or friends moving in or out of the home, move to a new address, if you have new contact details or if there is a change in your banking details.
Understand that Australia Homestay Pro will consider it unethical for the agent of a student registered with Australia Homestay Pro to introduce new students to Host Families without referral through Australia Homestay Pro. Please contact Australia Homestay Pro if you are approached by an agent directly.
Inform Australia Homestay Pro of any unsolicited direct requests from any Study Tour leaders, student agents and colleges or learning institutions.
