On Arrival Accommodation

The On Arrival Accommodation service offers temporary accommodation to independent skilled migrants wishing to settle permanently in South Australia.

This unique service is provided on a once-only basis when you arrive in Adelaide and MUST be organised prior to your arrival in South Australia, as we need at least 6 weeks notice.

The OAA service for RSMS offers private temporary accommodation, depending on your needs.

What types of accommodation are available?

You can choose from:

• Private accommodation
• Other accommodation options

Private Accommodation

If you would prefer private rental (furnished or unfurnished) accommodation, you should contact real estate agents around Adelaide.

Private rental accommodation is generally more expensive, and requires:

• Bond equal to four week's rent
• Two week's rent in advance
• 6 month lease (generally).

In addition, utility costs (electricity, gas) are not included in your rent. You will need to discuss with your real estate agent what furnishings are in the house.

Other Accommodation Options

You may prefer to stay in serviced apartments, a motel or caravan park.
