Accommodation is one of the main concerns for Indian moving to Australia. Whether you are a visitor, student, a recent immigrant you definitely need accommodation and since it is one of the main expenses you need to know your options.
There are different types of accommodation available in addition to rental accommodation in Australia.
1)Home stay

Home stay is all about experiencing the Australian lifestyle. It’s basically you get to stay with families, in their homes and feel like home in a different country. It’s a great way to assimilate to the new country until you feel comfortable. You make great friends and can learn a lot from their experiences.

2) Share accommodation or flatmates or house share is another type of housing option.
Shared accommodation is where you share everything electricity bill, water bills, gas cooking, share the rent and off course if you are using their utensils, refrigerator ,furniture you got to pay a bit for that too. The cost of share accommodation is obviously more than Home stay but definitely less than having your own rental property, which could be hard since you are new to country and real-estate agent might ask for referrals or huge security money.
Benefits of share accommodation is that you pretty much get a well furnished house on lower costs, you make new friends and learn from new cultures.
->Sharing the rent/bills with others not only cut costs but provides a benchmark to help you device a budget of cost of living when you decide to move into your own rental property.
-> If you are just starting out, it often helps to share the cost of furnishing and equipping a house with appliances.

3) Rental accommodation is available in Australia
Rental properties are looked after by rental agents so once you find the appropriate rental accommodation you need to call the rental agent to book an appointment to see the property. Inspect it thoroughly and if u like it you would need fill in an application and once approved to pay a rental bond which is refundable depending upon the condition of the property when you leave.
In the end costing of rental properties are dependent upon their proximity to the Central Business District (City).So if a suburb is close to CBD you would pay high rental for a particular type of accommodation as compared to one which is bit far.Ask Indianconnection for Best place to live for Indian in Sydney.
