Disclaimer
Meridian Homestay is careful to select honest host families. Each home is inspected for suitability to host a student. Even so, Meridian Homestay cannot be held responsible for the actions of the host family.
Hosts are advised
Should something go wrong and a student slips in your house and sues you for damages, you are not covered by your standard domestic home insurance policy. That is, you are responsible for and financially liable for all injury or property damages.
For that reason, we suggest Host Family Liability Insurance. Insure Student (tel. 1300 786 806) charges $135 per year which covers legal defence costs, compensation up to $10 million and covers up to 4 students at any one time.
