‘Boost’ is a plan that allows an upgraded member to place their property listing in the top eight room search results for that property’s suburb for a period of seven days. There is a limit of eight boost places per suburb at any one time. Only members on an upgraded plan (basic, full, pro) will be eligible to purchase ‘Boost’, and only if allocation is available for their suburb. Only the property the ‘Boost’ is purchased on will be boosted. Once successfully purchased, a boosted listing will sit in one of the top eight room search positions of the suburb the property is listed. The display ranking amongst boosted listings will be based on the property that was first boosted. All search filters will continue to apply to a boosted listing, and the boosted listing may not show if search filters that exclude the property is applied or while the listing is undergoing any security checks. After the boost expires, the listing will be ranked along with other non-boosted listings.

Flatmates.com.au recognises the uniquely challenging times that Australians are facing. Effective immediately, any Flatmates.com.au users on a “Basic” or “Full” Upgraded Service may pause their Upgraded Service for a period of up to three months. The user may resume their Upgraded Service at any time during those three months. Upon resumption of their Upgraded Service, the remaining term of the Upgraded Service not yet used as at the time of suspension will commence. An Upgraded Service may not be paused more than once and may not be paused if the Upgraded Service is being provided to the user during a 30-day “guarantee” period in accordance with clause 3.4(c) of the Terms and Conditions of Use. This offer only applies to any users on Upgraded Services plan that are active as at 27 March 2020. Any unused portion of the Upgraded Service that is paused will expire automatically at the end of the 3 month period if the Upgraded Service has not been resumed during that time.
