A lot here recommend shared accommodation muna. Kaso, hirap din maghanap ng shared accommodation in Brisbane especially if Pinoy ang gusto ko kasama sa house. Any other suggestions, thoughts?

Things have changed now. Currently, there is a demand of rental properties enabling the landlords to demand high rental (simple: law of demand and supply).
For a newly –arrived migrant, it is difficult to get a rental property. To go with your application is an information of your employment, bond for 4 weeks and advance rental. Other real estate agencies are now doing credit checks, so you may need to provide current bills of utilities, credit card (all in Australia), etc.
What we did for a very good friend of mine who migrated here in 2011, was I rented the property on their behalf. So in the lease contract, I was the lessee. This is the only way for them to get the rental property. We did the following:
1. Checked rental properties from newspaper ads, real estate websites, etc. then came up with a short-listed properties for viewing. Most of the time, open house times will be stated in the ad.
2. Scheduled viewing. This was a full 2-weekend exercise and not easy. You need to have your own transportation organised, unless the properties you are viewing are short walking distance. Open house time is only half an hour, with around 20-30 prospective tenants. We viewed close to 20 properties (2 weekends) and submitted 15 applications, got accepted by only one landlord. By the way, location was between Westmead and Parramatta, NSW.
3. Signed the contract of lease, paid bond and advance rental, then got the keys from the agent.
4. Moved to the property. First thing we did was to check the property, noted all existing damages and submitted this to the agent.
If you have any friends or acquaintance here in Australia, use that relationship to help you with finding an accommodation. I think the best way is to find a shared accommodation until such time that you are able and capable of getting a rental property.
Hope this helps.

Finding a job in Australia now is not easy, you will be very lucky if you can get a job within your first 2-3 months.

wag nyo po muna dalhin ang angkan nyo dito... mauna muna ang isa na:
- makahanap ng matitirhan.
- makapaghanap ng work.
wag po kayo mag suicide habang nagmimigrate at kung magsuicide kayo, wag nyo isama angkan nyo... kayo na lang....
payong kaibigan lang, hindi po ganon kadali pag nag-uumpisa pa lang...
kahit pa gano kadami ang funds na dala nyo... ubos yan dito promise.
cheers

May edge tayong pinoy kasi maganda naman ang record natin when it comes to renting.Malinis tayo sa bahay at responsable...In fact yung yung property manager ko, ang preference daw nila pinoy.
Unsolicited advice lang, mas maganda may job ka muna, or may idea ka na kung saang school mo ipapasok ang anak mo, bago ka magdecide kung saan ka magrerent ng house. Better kung makitira ka muna temporarily, mag scout ka sa mga area then kapag may na feel ka na na lugar, doon ka magdecide.
My first few days here, nag train ako, buong araw, pununtahan ko ang north, south, east, and west. isang presyo lang naman ang pamasahe kaya, go ako sa lahat ng lugar.

salamat naman at may nagbigay ng positive comment regarding sa pagmimigrate dyan sa Oz na kasama agad ang buong pamilya. kasi kami, buong pamilya kami darating dis Feb 2013. Yun nga wala pa kami bahay na matitirhan, so temporarily sa isang short-term accommodation muna kami...pag nangyari nga ang sinasabi ni icebreaker...kokontakin talaga kita para magpa-adopt sa iyo ha, hehehe.
puede ba humingi ng tulong sa paghahanap ny bahay na marirent? sana Pinoy ang Landlord.

Kung wala kayong kakilala dito, kontakin mo ako at one saturday ay iikot namin kayo ng mister ko sa iba ibang lugar para mafeel mo kung saan mo talaga gusto. I am sure naman nagtingin tingin ka na sa website about the areas here.
You will be alright for sure...:)..God Bless

In my opinion, ok lang din ang sama sama kung may kamaganak or kakilala sa Oz but for those who don't have any relatives, I suggest may mauna muna isa para sya magasikaso ng accommodation.
Just to add most accommodation here are not fully furnished meaning it's an empty house. No ref, beds, washing machine, etc.

I am emailing an agent now asking him the rental requirements for new migrants.
Post ko dito pag may sagot na sya hehe..
Plan kasi namin, after 2 months na approve ang visa, alis na kami dito.
This will be very hard kasi wala naman kaming kakilala sa NSW.
Maghahanap pa din kami ng nagpapa house share, mahirap din daw to eh kasi d naman lahat nagpapa sublet.
I am renting in SG now. Main tenant kami ng asawa ko. I will ask a rental reference letter from my Landlord, will it help?
Saka hanapin ko yung tenancy agreement namin sa kabilang bahay 2 years din yun, tatanggapin kaya nila yun?
Ano po yung rental history?
