Moving overseas before turning 18 is a big step. Student One gives younger international students a place to live independently, meet people from around the world and settle into Brisbane with support close by.

A supported alternative to homestay

Homestay can be a great option for some students, but it is not the only way to settle into life in Brisbane. Student One offers international students under the age of 18 a more independent living experience in a managed student accommodation environment. Students can live close to their place of study, use shared facilities, join resident events and build friendships with other students from Australia and around the world. For students who are ready for more independence, Student One provides structure, support and community while helping them adjust to life away from home.

Safety and welfare for under-18 students

Student One has specific arrangements in place for international students under the age of 18 to support their safety and welfare. Under-18 residents live on dedicated floors with restricted access controlled by electronic key cards. These floors are monitored by CCTV, and Student One has 24/7 on-site staff available across our residences. This gives students the freedom to experience student life in Brisbane, while ensuring support and supervision are close by.

Rules for under-18 students

Under-18 students need to follow specific rules while living at Student One. These rules are in place to support each student’s safety, welfare and visa requirements. One of the key conditions is a daily curfew of 10.00pm. After this time, under-18 students must remain inside their Student One building. They can still enjoy the facilities within the residence, but they are not permitted to leave the building after curfew. Before moving in, the student’s parents or guardians and educational institution will need to confirm the required arrangements and sign a guarantee to ensure all conditions are understood and met.
