The Courier-Mail is the daily local newspaper. The Classified Advertisements have an Accommodation Section which has daily listings of available houses, flats and units, and rooms to let. Wednesday's and Saturday's edition of The Courier-Mail are the best days for accommodation notices, but you should check the paper daily and phone immediately as good rentals are taken very quickly.
Prices listed refer to the weekly rate and are a good indicator of the standard of the accommodation. The address will rarely be given so call the phone number and find out as much as you can before inspecting.
Capital letters before or after the contact number usually are abbreviations for Real Estate (RE) agents. Some of the more popular agents are, Street Properties Sales http://www.streetpropertysales.com/
GRE - Gregory Real Estate , PP - Progressive Properties. There is also a listing of share accommodation and board and residence. However advertisements in these columns are not always appropriate for international students.
QUT's Student Guild also has an accommodation listing. As it gets closer to the beginning of semester more students will advertise through the Guild if they are looking for someone to share with. If they have something that suits your needs you will have to make an appointment to see the place.
Search online for accommodation
ISS does not inspect the vacancies listed in the database above and students
should not secure accommodation without prior inspection. It is the responsibility
of students to satisfy themselves that the accommodation and amenities are suitable
for their intended use.
