Which employers offer staff accommodation?

These employers publish housing information. Apply for a suitable vacancy or send an enquiry through their official page.

  • Cable Beach Club — careers

    Broome, WA. Careers page links to applications. Subsidised staff housing is advertised; availability and price need confirming for your offer.

Can I apply without experience?

Check the individual role. Housekeeping, kitchen, reception and bar work have different requirements. Voyages usually asks for relevant experience and a six-month commitment, with some shorter opportunities.

Give your work rights, arrival date and available months. Couples should confirm two suitable jobs and the room arrangement separately.

What room will I get, and what does it cost?

Ayers Rock Resort publishes weekly rent of $98–$407 plus a one-off bond. Your job determines the accommodation allocation: the lowest price is not a room anyone can choose. Basic furniture is included, but staff bring bedding, towels and kitchen items.

Kangaroo Island Lodge offers onsite rooms without publishing a price. MLKA’s Pilbara example bundles meals and accommodation at $140/week. Keep rent-only and meal-inclusive packages separate when comparing your budget.

  • Room type and sharing affect privacy; staff accommodation does not necessarily mean a private room.
  • A job-linked room creates two costs when you leave: moving to your next destination and paying for your next place to stay.

What does a real remote-work package leave you?

The MLKA Pilbara advert combines $36.85/hour with meals and accommodation at $140/week. Here is what that package looks like at two possible rosters. Hours are illustrative, not guaranteed.

Pilbara package · before income tax and personal spending
Weekly amount30 paid hours38 paid hours
Gross wages$1,105.50$1,400.30
Meals and accommodation−$140−$140
Remaining before income tax and other costs$965.50$1,260.30

When is the move worth it?

The remaining amount is not take-home pay: income tax, travel to the job, phone and personal spending still come out of your budget. Put the advertised wage and expected hours into the pay calculator, then subtract $140 for the weekly package.

This Pilbara role requires at least four months. For a shorter stay, Kangaroo Island Lodge advertises working-holiday enquiries from four weeks, although it does not publish a room price. Choose a commitment that fits your plans before paying for transport.

What should I confirm before travelling?

For Ayers Rock Resort, new starters pay for their own flights. The published relocation reimbursement is up to $700, subject to conditions and employment beyond six months. Budget the flight upfront; a shorter stay will not meet that published duration.

If you need specified work, check your visa subclass, duties and exact location through the linked visa guide before accepting. Once the job and housing are agreed, record the offer in your dashboard and keep money for the journey out.
