Hello!
I've been offered a job at SCGH for at least 12 months and will hopefully be making a move to Perth in the latter half of December. I've been looking things up online for places to rent (one which is preferably within walking distance to the hospital). I've also come across comments from other people mentioning the need for local references to be able to rent. I'm aware that the area surrounding the hospital is fairly upmarket and prices tend to be high(er).
As most agencies do not endorse online applications, would it be better for me to find somewhere to stay on a short term basis in the first instance (? weeks/months) and then look for somewhere else to stay in the long term?
I'd be grateful if anyone could give some insight into this matter. Any ideas/advice would be greatly appreciated!
