Is shared accommodation the same as coliving in Australia?

Coliving is a managed sub-category of shared accommodation. All CDA coliving is shared accommodation; not all shared accommodation is coliving. The key difference is the management layer — vetting, bills, maintenance and turnover are handled by CDA.

Can I lock my private room in a shared CDA home?

Yes — every CDA bedroom has a lockable door, so your personal space is private even though the kitchen, living and laundry areas are shared.

The CDA difference

Choosing managed shared accommodation in Australia

The DIY shared accommodation market in Australia (Flatmates.com.au, Gumtree, Facebook groups) is high-risk: no vetting, no support, no recourse if something goes wrong. The managed end of the market — purpose-built student accommodation and corporate coliving — solves the risk but adds cost and rigidity. CDA sits in the middle: managed quality and vetted housemates, but priced and contracted closer to the open market.
