Belong Here Pty Ltd

Belong is pioneering a new accommodation and lifestyle concept for international students in Australia & New Zealand - GROW-LIVING. With its roots in co-living, Grow-living goes further by providing pastoral care, 24/7 support line, jobs/intern placement along with high-quality affordable housing for students. It’s the Wework of student living; providing security, community and a sense of belonging to students. It provides them all the support necessary to grow to be independent adults, ready for real world. The international student experience in Australia needs to be radically improved. Students struggle to find affordable, quality housing and suffer from isolation, loneliness and vulnerability. Lacking a local network they have few opportunities for meaningful community contact, find it difficult to find jobs and fail to enjoy a complete Australian experience. This is unfair to the students, has long term negative impacts on our third largest export market and is overall detrimental to the impression of Australia internationally. Belong provides international students with a broad range of services that aim to address these real problems while providing the students a secure supported space to explore the transition to adulthood and independence.
