Relocation to Australia
Relocation to the Land Down Under with Dwellworks
Australia is a large, scenic country full of incredible things to do and see. From the wildlife to exciting cities like Melbourne and Sydney, it’s a country many people dream of visiting or living in, but few have the chance. Expatriates moving to the land down under are usually struck initially by the size of Australia. Its vast size and large cities require expatriates to consider commute times when looking for a place to live, as Australia’s major cities are sprawling and quite a distance from each other. When a general location is chosen, the hunt for a home needs to be quick.
Dwellworks’ Destination Consultants are positioned around Australia - and especially in large markets like Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, and Adelaide - to assist with the rental home search and so much more. Our Consultants easily guide expatriates through Australia’s fast-moving rental process. In cities like Sydney where supply is low and prices are high, our Consultants' relationships with local landlords and real estate brokers allow expatriates to find a home in the area at a price point they requested. Our Consultants work with local agencies across Australia to find listings not found in online searches – with immediate notification and open house access. Once a home is secured, our Consultants can also help with banking, school searches, and recommendations for where to grocery shop, directions for commutes and exploring, and even the best wildlife viewing tours across the country.
Area Orientation: Every employee wants to know more about the place they are moving to, whether it’s previewing neighborhood rental options, calculating commute times, or understanding the available community activities and hot spots. Our Destination Consultants always start the service experience with “How can I help?” and then put their local expertise to work with information, exploration, and guidance that aligns with your employee’s priorities.
Rental Home Finding Assistance: Our Consultants are experts in matching property solutions to employee budgets, requirements, and expectations, and are also a resource for understanding local leasing practices and landlord processes. After sourcing suitable housing, scheduling viewing appointments, and discussing the advantages and disadvantages of possible options, our Consultants help employees submit rental applications to give them the best chance of being selected as the preferred tenant.
Settling-in Services: Our Destination Consultants guide the employee through the full settling-in process, including support with key services like social insurance registration, banking services introductions, driver’s license application, and health care guidance. If the family has children, we also assist with school explanations, registration, and tours.
Departure services: Clients authorize this service when they are looking for end-of-assignment support for their employees. Our Destination Consultants advise on rental property termination, final property inspections, and the steps employees should follow to ensure a successful refund of their security deposit.
We check-in with the employee throughout their destination services experience via system-generated Pulse Checks to ensure we are meeting their expectations – and can quickly course-correct if needed. It is important to us that we provide exceptional service at all times. Visit our Destination Services page to learn about our end-to-end solutions and support.

We are proud to earn the respect and admiration of the employees we assist. Here is some of our favourite feedback received from satisfied employees:
Our Local Experts Cover All of Australia
Dwellworks pairs each relocating employee with an empathetic and experienced Destination Consultant who lives in or near the employee’s new city and knows everything there is to know about that destination location – or knows where to find the answer. Our local experts are also well-versed in the nuances of the relocation process; many of them have been through the moving experience themselves.
Using our online service platform called myDwellworks®, our local Consultant connects with the employee long before their arrival in Australia to establish a relationship, understand the employee’s priorities, and begin conducting personalized research. Consultants are familiar with neighborhood differences, school district boundaries, and the local cost of living to aid your employees in securing a rental home that meets their needs.
