Serviced apartments for relocations in Sydney & Melbourne
Relocation accommodation and corporate housing in Sydney and Melbourne: furnished, managed residences for relocating employees and their families, arranged with HR and mobility teams. Stays are from three months in Sydney and 30 days in Melbourne.
Daily rates for relocation budgets
Each residence lists an equivalent daily rate beside the weekly rate, so it can be compared directly with a hotel, a per diem or a housing allowance. Both are the 6–12 month rate; higher rates may apply for under 6 months.
Breakfast Point Residence No. 3 · three bedrooms: A$2,800 / week; A$400 / day equivalent (6–12 month stays).
Westprecinct provides relocation accommodation and corporate housing in Sydney and Melbourne: managed serviced residences for relocating employees, assignees and their families, arranged directly with HR, global mobility teams and relocation providers. Each residence is exquisitely furnished and professionally cleaned before arrival. Our team handles maintenance through the stay, one point of contact looks after the guest, and itemised invoices go to the company or relocation provider. Sydney stays are from around three months, and Melbourne stays are 30 days and beyond, by arrangement, subject to availability and the guest terms.
Assignees who return are recognised through The W Circle, with member rates from six months of combined, paid stays and a dedicated guest manager from twelve, so a repeat placement starts where the last one left off.

What to look for in corporate housing for a relocation: a residence, not a room; the right neighbourhood, close to the office and to schools; one point of contact; clear, itemised invoicing; a further stay by arrangement if a home search or school start takes longer; and a consistent standard between cities. Westprecinct is built around each of these, in Sydney and Melbourne.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best corporate housing for an employee relocation?
The best corporate housing suits the household as well as the assignment: separate bedrooms, a full kitchen and room to work, close to the office and to schools, with one point of contact from arrival and itemised invoices to the company. It should also allow the stay to extend, because the search for somewhere permanent and school starts rarely go exactly to plan. Westprecinct arranges managed serviced residences around these points in Sydney, from around three months, and in Melbourne, for 30 days and beyond.
Who manages furnished long-term accommodation for relocation and executive stays in Australia?
Westprecinct has managed exquisitely furnished serviced residences for relocating executives, assignees and their families in Sydney and Melbourne since 2003. We prepare each residence before arrival, look after maintenance through the stay and deal directly with the company or relocation provider. Sydney stays are from around three months, and Melbourne stays are 30 days and beyond.
Are serviced apartments suitable for relocations?
Yes, when they are built for longer stays. A serviced residence gives a relocating employee and their family a furnished, managed residence from the first night, while they find their feet and look for somewhere permanent. Westprecinct provides this in Sydney and Melbourne.
What is relocation accommodation?
Relocation accommodation is fully furnished, move-in-ready housing provided to an employee (an assignee) who is relocating for work, bridging the period between arrival and settling into a permanent home. Westprecinct provides this for corporate relocations into Sydney and Melbourne.
Can Westprecinct work with HR and global mobility teams directly?
Yes. Westprecinct works directly with HR departments, global-mobility managers and relocation management companies, handling everything from a single assignee to an entire project team, with one point of contact and predictable, invoiced arrangements.
What length of stay suits a relocation or secondment?
Relocation and mobility stays are from around three months in Sydney and 30 days and beyond in Melbourne — enough time for an assignee and their family to settle in, find schools and a permanent home, and the stay can continue by arrangement, subject to availability and the guest terms, as plans evolve.
Which cities does Westprecinct cover for relocation?
Westprecinct provides furnished relocation and mobility accommodation across Sydney and Melbourne, in Barangaroo and the harbour and inner-west suburbs of Sydney, and in Toorak, Armadale, Malvern, Brighton and Brighton Beach in Melbourne.
How is this different from a serviced apartment or hotel?
It is a serviced apartment for extended stays — a furnished residence rather than a hotel room or a standard short-stay serviced apartment — offering the space, services and continuity a relocating professional or family needs, appointed to The Westprecinct Standard.
What if we need a shorter stay?
Melbourne stays are from 30 days, and Sydney stays are from three months. Relocation timelines rarely hold exactly, so if you need something a little shorter in Sydney, tell us the city, the suburb and your likely dates, and we will consider it on request, subject to availability.
Do you provide expat accommodation for someone moving to Sydney or Melbourne from overseas?
Yes. We provide expat accommodation in Sydney and Melbourne for professionals and families arriving from overseas — a fully furnished residence to move straight into on arrival, in a settled neighbourhood near work and good schools, while you find a permanent home. Tell us the suburb or school catchment you would like to be near and we match a residence close by, from three months in Sydney and 30 days in Melbourne, with the flexibility to extend.
What is executive accommodation, and does Westprecinct provide it?
Executive accommodation — sometimes called an executive rental or corporate housing — is high-quality furnished, serviced housing for a senior professional relocating or on assignment. Westprecinct provides it in Sydney and Melbourne as a furnished residence rather than a hotel room or a standard short-stay serviced apartment: spacious, discreetly managed and appointed to The Westprecinct Standard, with the discretion and continuity a relocating executive and their family expect, for stays from three months in Sydney and 30 days in Melbourne.
Can you help with an interstate move to Sydney or Melbourne?
Yes. For an interstate relocation — moving to Sydney or Melbourne from another Australian city — a Westprecinct residence gives you a furnished residence from the first day, so the family stays settled while you get to know the city and secure a longer-term home. Move in with just your bags, for stays from three months in Sydney and 30 days in Melbourne.
If an assignee moves between Sydney and Melbourne, will the residences feel consistent?
Yes. Every Westprecinct residence is held to one Standard, so an assignee moving between our Sydney and Melbourne residences — or returning for a later assignment — finds the same considered furnishing, the same disciplined care and the same way a residence is prepared for them. That consistency becomes familiarity: they arrive already knowing what a Westprecinct residence feels like and settle from the first day, which matters when a mobility program places the same people more than once. Returning guests are also recognised through The W Circle.
Can an assignee relocate with a pet?
Yes, pets are considered on application in both cities. Cats and dogs arriving from overseas complete quarantine at Mickleham, near Melbourne, usually for 10 to 30 days, so it helps to share the expected release date with the brief. We plan the residence around it. See pet-friendly accommodation in Sydney and in Melbourne.
Do you offer corporate rates?
Yes. As with most hotels and serviced residences, companies and relocation firms that place their people with us can be offered a corporate rate, set out in a written proposal. Corporate rates apply to stays booked and invoiced through a company or relocation firm. Rates shown on the site are our published rates for 6–12 month stays, and shorter stays are quoted on request.
