ACCOMMODATION
Due a low vacancy rate, the accommodation market in Perth and Kalgoorlie is extremely competitive. We strongly encourage you to make accommodation arrangements BEFORE you arrive.
Curtin’s on-campus accommodation is in high demand and has a long waiting list. We recommend you look at the off-campus options listed on Curtin’s website.
The University has Accommodation Coaches to assist students in finding off campus accommodation. Complete the enquiry form found in the link and Curtin's Accommodation coaches will be in touch. They accept walk-in, face-to-face, and phone appointments. They can also make international phone calls and host coaching sessions led over Microsoft Teams.
If you have not found accommodation before you arrive then consider deferring your studies or taking a leave of absence. If you would like to know more about this you can contact student.assist@guild.curtin.edu.au.
