Becoming a Homestay

Please watch this video for prospective homestay hosts. It was created by the Department of Education to go through some of the key information for potential hosts.

Working with Children Card

One of the first things that every homestay has to do is apply for a Working with Children Card (WWCC). Everyone over the age of 18 has to have a card. It is free as a volunteer.

When you apply:

  • Please choose volunteer

  • Please indicate Templestowe College as the organisation you will volunteer under.

  • Please pick Host family/homestay from the list when asked what role you will do. It is normally at the end of the list when you are scrolling.

To apply you can follow the button to the WWCC website.

submit the form if you are interested or have more questions
