One of the most important decisions that a student has in establishing themselves at university, is securing accommodation that is conducive to their needs.
Your accommodation should be in proximity to university campuses, provide a happy and safe environment, and be within your budget.
Finding accommodation
There are many options within walking distance or easily accessed by public transport and we recommend living close to campus.
You can choose from student residential complexes, residential colleges, or an agent-operated student accommodation. These usually include a private room with a bed, study desk. Bathrooms, kitchens, and common rooms are shared.
If you need help finding somewhere to live, our accommodation services can help you.
Places to live
- QUT student deals
- scholarships for international and regional students
- accommodation approved for students under 18

Under 18 international students
If you're under 18, you will also need to apply for our supervision program, you must be placed in an approved accommodation, or live with a parent, guardian or relative until you turn 18.
The supervision program includes a registration fee of $110 and a daily fee of $6.60, which you will have to pay until you turn 18.
Indigenous Australian Accommodation Program
The Indigenous Australian Accommodation Program (IAAP) is a twelve-month transition support program available to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students who are relocating from regional, remote, or interstate to QUT for their first year of study.
The program provides subsidised accommodation at Student One Elizabeth St amongst a culturally supportive environment with a pastoral carer (Oodgeroo Unit's Indigenous Program Coordinator) who journeys with program participants throughout the year, delivering life skills workshops, social and cultural events, and activities.
Emergency accommodation
Community and non-government organisations offer many types of short-term accommodation for people in emergency situations.
If you unexpectedly find you have no place to stay, you should contact Homeless Persons Information Queensland or use the directory for Brisbane Emergency Relief.
