G'Day All.

I've got my Visa, what do I need next in order to start working? Do I need a Tax
Number, if so were do I get it from? Does any body know where I can rent a cheap
apartment on a Week by Week basis in Melbourne/Sydney? All the apartments for rent
I've found ask for 3-6 months!!!

Thanks!

By the week and cheap don't usually come in the same package!

You are going to find it very difficult to get an apartment on a weekly basis. As you
have already found out, owners will at least want a 3 month term more likely 6 months
A full months rent in advance as a bond is also required. References from previous
landlords may also be needed.

in my experience if you want to live on the cheap and you are a traveller then go
live with other travellers and you will always be able to find someone who can put
you up for a couple of weeks - the landlords i encountered didnt care who stayed for
how long as long as there were people paying rent every week and there was no trouble
then everything was ok... i know people (including myself) that lived like that all
their year in Oz.

When you're in a hostel you'll find that there are LOADS of people looking for flats
- just hook up with a few trustworthy ones and you'll be fine...

the cheapest way to live is get a bivvy and live on the beach !

the best way to live is to hunt around for a cheap place in the traveller areas
(Glebe, Bondi, Coogee, Ultimo).

good luck !
