AccommodationStudents have a range of accommodation options available to them when they study at PIBT. These include: Students under 18 years of ageAs well as meeting all requirements for a student visa, if you are under 18 years of age PIBT must approve all your welfare and accommodation arrangements. Our student counsellor offers support and counselling to all students and will discuss any concerns about your welfare with your parents. If you are younger than 18 and plan to stay with a friend or a relative outside your immediate family, you must receive permission to do so from your parents and PIBT. The person you are staying with must be aged 21 or above, have an Australian police clearance and agree to act as your local guardian and carer. If you do not have a friend or relative to stay with while at PIBT, we recommend Homestay accommodation. For information about local carers, please visit pibt.wa.edu.au/policies or email our student counsellor at studentcounsellor@pibt.wa.edu.au On-campus AccommodationPIBT students have access to on-campus accommodation at the Mount Lawley Student Village, which features brand new five-bedroom apartments just a short walk from the university. The apartments are modern and fully furnished, with private bedrooms, bathrooms, large kitchens and spacious lounge areas, so students will have plenty of space to hang out with friends. The on-site facilities include a pool, café/convenience store, sound lounge, e-library, study zones and shared laundry. With resident assistants on hand to organise events and activities, you will find plenty to do and lots of ways to meet new people.
