Corporate accommodation in Australia usually means one of two things: a serviced apartment at a nightly rate that stops making sense somewhere around week three, or a twelve-month lease nobody wants to sign for a six-month posting. Neither fits the way assignments actually run.
A medium-term rental matches the term to the engagement. Take a whole furnished home for the length of the posting, pay a weekly rate with bills and Wi-Fi included, and hand it back when the work ends. For anyone staying more than a month it is materially cheaper than a serviced apartment, and it is a home rather than a room — which matters a great deal by week six.
Invoices can be issued to a company, and because the agreement is signed digitally the whole arrangement can be set up before the person lands.
Why this is hard to solve
- Nightly rates over a long posting
- Serviced apartments are priced for a fortnight. Across a six-month assignment the difference runs into thousands.
- Twelve months for a six-month job
- A standard lease means either paying past the end of the posting or wearing break-lease costs.
- A hotel room is not a home
- No kitchen, no laundry, no space to work. Fine for a week, corrosive over a season.
- Procurement needs paperwork
- Ad-hoc bookings across several providers are painful to approve, reconcile and expense.
How it usually goes
Four steps, in the order they actually happen.
Scope the posting honestly
Six weeks, six months, or open-ended with a review. The term you book should match the assignment, not the lease length the market offers.
Book a whole home rather than rooms
A kitchen, a laundry and somewhere to work are what separate a three-month posting from a long hotel stay.
Invoice it once, per property
One itemised invoice per home is straightforward to approve, code and reconcile — unlike ad-hoc bookings across several providers.
Extend or hand back
Assignments get extended or they end. Both are agreed with the host, with no rollover and no break fee either way.
How EzyFlats fits
- Terms from one week to 24 months — matched to the assignment, extendable if it runs over
- Weekly pricing with bills and Wi-Fi included, so the cost is predictable and easy to approve
- Whole homes with a kitchen, laundry and room to work, not a single hotel room
- Invoices issued to a company, with one agreement rather than a stack of bookings
- Arranged and signed online before the person arrives; verified landlords and pre-screened listings
What to check before you book
Worth asking of any home you are considering, here or anywhere else.
- What is the commute to the actual office?
- Check it at the hour it will be done. The difference between twenty minutes and fifty is a different posting.
- Is there somewhere to work at home?
- Most postings now involve at least some remote days. A table in a bedroom is not a desk.
- Who is the tenant — the company or the person?
- Decide before booking. It determines whose name the agreement and the invoices are in.
- Can the term be extended?
- Assignments move. Confirm it up front rather than when the extension is already agreed.
- What is included in the rate?
- Furniture, bills and Wi-Fi in one weekly figure is much easier to budget and approve than a rent plus variable extras.
What it costs, and who usually pays
Corporate housing is priced per week, all-in, rather than per night. Serviced apartments are built around a fortnight; across a three- or six-month posting the nightly rate stops making sense, and the flat weekly figure is also far easier to get approved because it is one predictable number.
You receive itemised invoices for the accommodation. EzyFlats provides the home and the paperwork for it and is not a party to any arrangement between an employee and their employer.

Common questions
Can the company be invoiced directly?
Yes. Invoices can be issued to a company for the accommodation.
How does the cost compare to a serviced apartment?
Past about a month, generally well below it. Medium-term rentals are priced weekly and include bills, furniture and internet, where serviced apartments price nightly and add service and cleaning fees on top.
Can we arrange it before the person arrives?
Yes — booking, verification and the agreement are all online, so the home can be ready on the day they land.
What if the assignment is extended?
Extensions are routine. Stays run to 24 months and the term is agreed with the host rather than fixed by a standard lease.
Can we house a team?
Filter by bedrooms and guest capacity. A whole home is usually cheaper per head than separate rooms and keeps a crew together.
