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.

Zahluth Women’s fashion label
Thaina Simoes dos Santos, Certificate III, IV & Diploma of Business, has ran her own women’s fashion label successfully back in Brazil and is now bringing it to Australia!
Zahluth creates unique styles to suit women of all sizes, ages and personalities. Thaine designs, creates and sells her clothes herself and does it with passion!
“Fashion chose me! Since I was a little girl, I always designed my own clothes, and my favourite place was with the seamstresses, seeing the creations and giving life to new clothes and styles! Zahluth was born to dress girls and women for the best years of their lives, from 18, 25, 30 to 70 years old, and accompany them to enjoy the beautiful journey of life every day, feeling confident accompanying women from great personality and women who are still finding their personality, we like to express who we are through art on clothing! Zahluth’s concept is that you can be whoever you want, and be YOU! “Whats your outfit mood today?” Because life is too short to wear boring clothes, so come with us! “
Check out Zahluth’s page below to see their creations, or just to show some support;
