   Australia has a variety of high standard student accommodation available to suit different budgets and needs and there are several long-term housing options available to you.  As well as rooms or residential colleges available on-campus at some education institutions, there are hostels (rooming houses), Homestay (living with a family in their home), and rental properties (either on your own or sharing with others). Shared accommodation with other students is common and popular and student noticeboards and newspapers often advertise rooms, apartments and houses for rent.
   Most accommodation, except homestay, does not include electrical items, household equipment, sheets and blankets etc. Second hand household goods are available quite cheaply, but you may wish to bring some of your own basic items.
   You should use the information on this website in conjunction with your own research. If your education institution has an international office, contact them long before you arrive for information on housing options on or off campus. They might be able to provide you with links to accommodation boards on their website or within the community. They will tell you what they can or cannot arrange for you. Also, look at websites like domain.com.au  and realestate.com.au that list accommodation for rent. This should give you a good idea of the type and cost of accommodation that is available.
   Another good tip is to get references from people you may already have rented accommodation from in your own country. Providing copies of these to a real estate agent when you apply for a property can show them that you have a proven record of being a good tenant. You should also be prepared to provide them with evidence that you have enough money to pay for your accommodation; for example, with a bank account statement.
