Corporate Accommodation Australia

Corporate accommodation refers to furnished apartments, serviced residences and extended stay hotels arranged for business purposes — with direct company billing, flexible terms and professional amenities including dedicated workspaces, fast Wi-Fi and in-suite laundry.

We invoice your company directly for the accommodation cost, removing the need for employees to pay out-of-pocket and claim expenses. Invoices are GST-compliant and can be issued weekly, fortnightly or monthly to match your accounts payable cycle.

Extended stay corporate rates apply from 14 nights. Longer stays of 30, 60 or 90+ nights attract progressively lower nightly rates — often 30–40% below standard hotel pricing. Most corporate clients book for 4–12 weeks, with ongoing monthly rolling arrangements available for repeat engagements.

Yes. We coordinate block bookings for teams of any size, sourcing multiple apartments within the same building or nearby properties so your team stays close together throughout the engagement.

Serviced apartments are run by a single operator in their own building and are open to all guests including tourists. Corporate accommodation is a broader category — any furnished, short-to-medium-term apartment arranged for business purposes — with account management, consolidated billing and duty-of-care compliance that standard serviced apartment operators don't typically provide. We source from both and select the best option for your specific requirements.

Generally yes. When a company pays for accommodation required for an employee to perform work duties away from their regular workplace, the cost is deductible under the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. Where accommodation is provided as a fringe benefit (the employee uses it as a primary residence), FBT considerations apply. Travel allowances paid at or below ATO reasonable amounts (updated annually via Tax Determination) may also be exempt from PAYG withholding. Speak with your tax adviser for your specific structure.

In Sydney and Melbourne CBDs, a 1-bedroom corporate apartment on a monthly arrangement typically runs $700–$1,400 per week depending on location and quality. Perth and Brisbane tend to run slightly lower. Rates drop 20–30% for 90-day bookings versus week-by-week arrangements. A broker can access preferred rates not publicly listed — contact us with your requirements and we'll provide a comparison within 2 business hours.

Three patterns come up repeatedly. First, too-short lead times: serviced apartment inventory in Sydney CBD and Melbourne CBD absorbs quickly during the February–April and September–November corporate travel peaks — teams that leave accommodation sourcing until the week before a project start often pay 30–50% above negotiated rates or compromise on location. Four to six weeks ahead gives us real leverage. Second, fixed-date bookings: corporate extended stays booked on rigid terms create cancellation penalty exposure when project timelines shift. We build exit flexibility into every arrangement as standard. Third, multiple hotel rooms instead of one apartment: a default of booking two separate hotel rooms rather than one two-bedroom apartment costs more, offers less space, and lacks kitchen and laundry. For a four-week booking, that difference is typically $3,000–$5,000 for the same number of people.
