What are the chances of being able to flat in Australia?
I am planning on moving to Australia early 2018 with my flat mates- one 19 year old female and 4 males ages ranging from 19-24. We all flat together now and are wanting to make the jump over the ditch. Mainly to earn more and also experience living overseas. I was just wondering what the chances are of us getting a flat and what the process would be? My partner and I are planning on moving over first and staying with his family while looking for a place for the 5 us to live, then once we set up they will come through. If you have any tips or advice to share, it would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance.
It would most likely be easier for you to rent a house, as most flats only have a few rooms, unless that's what you mean by flatting.. Also, a job that you know you'll be staying at, they'll most likely want one of you to at least have a permanent job as well, for stability etc.
It's also probably easier, if you are looking for a job to go through recruitment agencies, as most companies go through them more than they do walk-in applications.
