Renting: You can rent/lease a property through either a real estate agent or privately. Most leases in Australia are for periods of 6-12 months. This varies by city and suburb. Searching for accommodation online should give you a good idea of what you might pay. Short-term accommodation: When you first arrive in Australia, you may need to stay in temporary accommodation while you look for something more permanent. Typical choices include hostels, hotels or short-stay apartments. These vary in price from A$40 per night for a bed in a hostel dormitory, to up to A$250 a night in a hotel.
