What's the minimum stay for a CDA working-holiday room?

CDA offers flexible terms designed for WHV lengths — typically a few weeks minimum. Tell us your dates and we will match you to a room with the right window.

Do I need an Australian rental history as a WHV holder?

No. CDA does not require Australian rental history. ID and a basic reference check (from your home country is fine) is enough.

The CDA difference

Housing for the Australian Working Holiday Visa

The Working Holiday Visa (subclass 417 and 462) brings around 200,000 people to Australia each year — most arriving with a backpacker mindset, casual work plans and no idea how long they'll stay in one place. The Australian rental market is built around 12-month leases and 4-week bonds, which doesn't fit. CDA's flexible model is built for the visa: short-stay-friendly terms, no security deposit tying up your savings, furnished rooms ready on arrival, and a managed household that's easy to leave when work or travel calls.

Every room, every city
