The Room Xchange are working closely with the Gold Coast Education sector to help facilitate the matching process between

you and the students to ensure a

happy, house-sharing experience.

At The Room Xchange you can negotiate a house-share agreement that's based on what you want and what you both agree to.

Our unique approach to house-sharing

The Room Xchange is an instant housing solution

The Room Xchange is technology driven and has been developed to de-risk the process as much as possible. Our 'Done for You' services add the human element that provides additional comfort to homeowners in their decision making process.

Although rental supply is at an all time low, there are over 13.5m unused spare bedrooms in 10m homes across Australia.

This is existing housing stock that can be accessed immediately to help solve the housing and rental crisis.

We know that inviting someone to share your home, or deciding to live in someone else's home is a deeply human and personal experience. As such, The Room Xchange service is built on the principle of ‘digital when you want it, people when you don’t’. We use our technology to match housemates with potential homeowners on the basis of personality, values and lifestyle. When necessary, we can also offer human support to maximise placements and satisfaction.

By beginning the process of unlocking empty bedrooms in residential households, we can provide comfortable and safe accommodation for international students. At the same time, we can help build a stronger community and continue to showcase The Gold Coast as an ideal destination for international students.

Mandatory Verification via Digital iD by Australia Post

This is not a 'nice to have' - it's mandatory and

The Room Xchange covers the cost.

This ensures that all users feel safe and secure knowing that everyone has been verified using a government form of iD.

We have integrated the Digital iD technology into our website. It takes about 30 seconds to be verified and once you are, a badge will show up on your profile.

This process removes potential problematic people as they will not want to be identified in this way.

DIY profile matching or our 'Done for You' services.

Homeowners don't usually see themselves as renters or house-sharers. Therefore, the process of connecting with the right housemate, asking the right questions, finding compatibility and working out your house-sharing agreement can feel a little daunting to some people.

If this sounds like you, we have a number of 'Done for You' services to choose from. Whether it's managing the entire process or just certain steps. It's up to you.

Rent or Rent Offset - you choose

The option to rent or rent offset is unique to

The Room Xchange. The traditional way of renting has always been about renting a room for money.

But there's another way. We call it Rent Offset.

Rent offset gives the household the option to offset part or all of the rent by requesting help around the house.

This help is above what would normally be expected as a housemate. The help could be home organising, cooking or walking the dog.
