Accommodation in Australia, like most countries, is cheaper the further you live from a city centre. Owning your own home is part of the great Australian dream, and the building industry acts in many ways as an indicator of the country's economic well-being. This section aims to provide information about accommodation when moving from another country or interstate.
Renting Accommodation

Owning your home
If you are a permanent resident or citizen of Australia, the first home-owner grant, and other assistance schemes, may apply to you. For information regarding the grant in New South Wales, the OSR website has a section relating to First Home Owners.
