How are hosts paid?

Hosts are paid a weekly fee to cover the expenses involved in hosting a student. Study Vision will collect these fees from the student, to prevent any confusion or issues between the student and the host. Do not collect any money directly from the student without first consulting Study Vision.

Study Vision will transfer the Homestay Fees to the host by Bank Transfer every 2 weeks, within 2-7 business days of the due date. Hosts should inform Study Vision immediately if there are any changes to their banking details.

Homestay fees are not tax assessable (ATO Tax Ruling 2001/381), as long as you are only hosting 1 or 2 students at a time.
