Relocation accommodation and corporate housing 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.
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 real home, not a room; the right neighbourhood, close to the office and to schools; one point of contact; clear, itemised invoicing; flexibility to extend 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 makes good corporate housing for an employee relocation?
A furnished home, not a hotel room: separate bedrooms, a full kitchen and room to work, in a neighbourhood close to the office and to schools, with one point of contact and clear invoicing. Flexibility to extend matters too, because home searches and school starts rarely go exactly to plan.
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 home 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?
Relocation and mobility stays are from three months in Sydney and 30 days in Melbourne — enough time for an assignee and their family to settle in, find schools and a permanent home, with the option to extend as plans evolve.
Which cities does Westprecinct cover for relocation?
Westprecinct provides furnished relocation and mobility accommodation across Sydney and Melbourne, in the cities' most sought-after suburbs.
How is this different from a serviced apartment or hotel?
It is a serviced apartment for extended stays — a genuine furnished home rather than a hotel room or a standard short-stay serviced apartment — offering the space, privacy 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 genuine furnished residence rather than a hotel room or a standard short-stay serviced apartment: private, spacious 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 genuine furnished home 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 home is prepared for them. That consistency becomes familiarity: they arrive already knowing what a Westprecinct home 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.
