Early Bird Access: Early Bird are listings which have been activated in the last 14 days. These listings require an upgrade to contact, or your message will be delayed up to 14 days. Because Early Birds are some of our newest listings, upgrading means you’re ahead of the crowd and don’t have to wait until they become “Free to Message”. This means your message gets sent straight away, helping you find a flatmate match faster. If you want to by-pass Early Bird and contact everyone asap, we suggest trying one of our plans
Mobile Numbers: Contacting members via their mobile can quickly speed up your search. Having an upgraded account will give you access to any mobile number listed*.
Free to Message: Upgrading your account will automatically remove the Early Bird status from your listing or profile. This means anyone on the site can message you.
ID Verification: If you are a Seeker, you can verify your passport or Australian Drivers Licence, showing other flatmates that you’re for real.
More prominent in search results: If you upgrade, your listings will be shown higher in search results, meaning your listing will be easier to find and will receive more traffic and enquiries than members who don’t upgrade.
Listing Caps and Pro Plans: If you wish to list multiple property listings on our site, you will need to upgrade. We have a range of upgrades available to suit your needs, starting from $29.99 for Property Listers.
To view our plans and to upgrade, head to flatmates.com.au/plans (note: you’ll need to be logged in)
*Not all listing owners make their mobile numbers available.
