Accommodation

If you are planning to stay for 6 months minimum in Australia and you are keen to have your own privacy, you can rent a flat or house in your own name through a real estate agency: prices can vary from AU$250 to AUD$400/week for a studio (or Bachelor unit) and AU$ 300 to AU$750/week pour a 2 bedroom flat.

Our advice: be aware that if you go through a real estate agency, most flats or houses are not furnished but you can ask for furnished ones (it will be obviously more expensive!); you will need to pay a 4 week bond in advance, show proof of employment and have a referee. As in the case of shared accommodation, you’d better choose one of our Welcome Packs and then visit a big number of flats before taking a decision!

In Australia shared accommodation is the most common option whether you came here to study or work : it is cheaper, you can lead the way of life you want and can choose who you want to live with. You can share a house or a flat with Australians or others; your room can be furnished or not and costs vary between AU$100 and AU$250/week, depending on many criteria: single or shared room, in city centre, surburbs…

Our advice: we don’t recommend you to book a shared accommodation from your home country: you have to visit it first since most flats or houses can be in shocking conditions! Therefore you’d better choose one of our Welcome Packs and then look for a shared accommodation on the spot !
