Accommodation

Share accommodation - This usually involves the payment of bond (commonly 2 or 4 weeks rent), which is refundable if the room is left in good condition. Telephone, gas and electricity are additional costs shared between the tenants.

Rental Accommodation - Rental properties involve signing of a lease contract and paying a 4 week government held bond, which is refundable if the dwelling is left in good condition. Lease contracts are typically 12 months or six months in length.

Homestay Accommodation - Homestay accommodation is popular among students and involves living with an Australian family in a shared or private room. Homestay accommodation is often arranged by the educational institution or privately by the student. Homestay can cost anywhere between A$135 and A$240 per week inclusive of most meals.

Budget Hotels and Guesthouses - Budget hotels and guesthouses typically involve accommodation in a dormitory or a private room excluding meals and are common among language or short course students and backpackers. Costs vary between A$70 to A$150 per day. Cheaper for weekly rates. Electricity and gas are usually included.

Temporary Accommodation

Hotels, Motels & Backpackers
Generally, the price you pay for accommodation will determine its quality. However, it can be expensive to stay in a good quality motel or hotel for a long period of time. Backpacker accommodation is relatively inexpensive but you may need to bring your own pillow and sleeping bag if you choose this option.

Staying With Friends or Family - If you know someone in Australia, this is a great way to settle in to life here. Your friends or family can provide advice, support and encouragement in your first days in Australia.
