WHERE TO LIVE
Gold Coast has three main areas for international students. Where you land depends on your budget and how much surf you're chasing.
Surfers Paradise. From $200 AUD/week. Hospitality jobs, nightlife, and a large international student community, with the beach just 5 minutes on foot.
Broadbeach · Mermaid Beach. From $200 AUD/week. Easy beach access, restaurants, and shopping within walking distance, quieter than Surfers.
Burleigh Heads · Coolangatta. From $180 AUD/week. Surf beaches, a local favourite, with a slower pace and a longer commute to school.
Study, work, or both: we guide you every step of the way, from your visa and throughout your stay.
TESTIMONIALS
One of my best discoveries in recent years. An agency that responds immediately, effective at resolving any situation, with a highly coordinated team of professionals that ensures top-quality support throughout your experience. Australia without Australian Way wouldn't have been nearly as amazing. THANKS 🫂

I had issues with my WHV in Australia and ended up moving to New Zealand, and honestly, the support has been incredible. Eduardo gives you all the confidence and the push you need to start the adventure, and it's absolutely worth it. To anyone who's on the fence, the answer is YES!

What started as a temporary experience became a profound, wonderful life change. My daughter now lives in Melbourne, has obtained Australian citizenship, and has recently been offered a place to study Medicine.

We were already at check-in, just over an hour before the flight, when they spotted an issue with the visa. We contacted them and within minutes they told us exactly what to do and had it all sorted.

They applied for my visa on July 1st and got it approved on the first try. When I arrived in Sydney, they kept supporting and guiding me throughout my entire stay.

Work
Many students look first in hospitality and tourism; the time to find work varies by season and experience.
LIFESTYLE
Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Burleigh Heads, or Coolangatta. Gold Coast is built right along the beach, and everyday life is too. Surfing around the clock. The subtropical climate guarantees over 300 days of sunshine a year.
Community
Gold Coast is smaller and quieter than Sydney or Melbourne, but it has one of the largest international student communities in Australia. You’ll meet your people faster than you think.
