From students arriving in Australia for the first time to locals moving out of shared houses, our furnished rooms are set up with a bed, desk, chair, TV, kitchen and bathroom features, utilities and Wi-Fi. New arrivals can also read more about international student accommodation before planning their move to Australia.

Students who want to live with friends can also compare shared student accommodation across Journal’s room options. You can also compare Campus House and Market Way if you want furnished living close to universities, transport, city life and student spaces.
