Helpful Tips for finding accommodation in Australia
We know finding suitable accommodation can be a challenge for international students at this time of year. Austrade publishes a range of tools and resources on the Study Australia website on accommodation options within Australia including:
- Tips on creating a strong rental housing application.
- Tips to find the right home and house mates for you.
- Know your rights as a tenant in Australia.
Costs of accommodation will vary depending on your chosen state, city, and type of accommodation. The cost of living calculator on the Study Australia website helps students calculate their expenses.

Coral Dust
By Vilte Baronaite & Dovile Sabanaite – Diploma of Marketing & Communications
Instagram: @coraldust
“Introducing Coral Dust!
We’re Vilte and Dovile- two friends studying Diploma of marketing who recently launched our little brand called Coral Dust.
We created Coral Dust because we wanted to make something we genuinely love wearing ourselves – oversized, washed heavyweight tees that feel effortless, comfy, and easy to throw on after the beach, skating, uni, coffee runs… literally anything.
Everything is unisex, made with care in Indonesia, and inspired by the surf/skate lifestyle and community around us.
We’re still at the very beginning of our journey, so being able to share Coral Dust with other students and creatives honestly means a lot to us.”
