History


Flatmates.com.au was launched in 1997 as Australia's first share house directory, based in Melbourne but operating Australia-wide. Around the same time, another internet pioneer, Sonya Green, launched her Perth share search agency with the website flatmate.com.au.

Both share accommodation sites were purchased by Student Services Australia and relaunched in February 2008. The relaunch included another first - the first Australian share house site to included embedded YouTube video.We also included Google Maps and a search-by-maps feature. Importantly, the site will always remain 100% free.

In November 2008 we will launch a sister share accommodation site, studentflatmates.com.au, providing some additional features relevant to students (like search-by-campus). All listings will appear on both sites and it too will be 100% free.

Scam Alert...

Being web smart is simple:

Just NEVER pay money or give ID details to anyone without meeting them first.

Scammers can be girls or boys, have pretty photos... They don't all dress up like the little cartoon character above.
They;
1. Want you to send them money upfront. Don't.
2. Say they will send you money - but need your ID details; bank details, passport, DOB, current address. Don't.

If they sound a bit suspicious... they are dodgy! For more info see the Scammer Alert page

Please report scammer emails.
