How flatmate.com works
Since 1998 · Simple. Safe. Free while we build.
For landlords & room providers
1. Post your listing
Create a free listing with photos, rent details, and your preferences. Takes just a few minutes.
2. Receive enquiries
Interested flatmates contact you directly through flatmate.com — chat by message or jump on a video call without leaving the site. You control who you respond to.
3. Choose your flatmate
Review profiles, chat, and arrange an inspection. Pick the person who's the right fit.
For people looking for a room
1. Browse listings
Search by suburb, price, room type, and move-in date. Thousands of listings across Australia, NZ, UK & Ireland.
2. Connect & message
Create a free profile and message landlords or room providers directly — with built-in video calling when you want to chat face to face. No phone number required.
3. Move in
Inspect, agree terms, and move in. Simple as that.
Built-in video calling within messaging
Take the conversation face to face without swapping numbers or downloading another app. Start a video call straight from any message thread — it uses your phone's native camera and runs peer-to-peer, so nothing is recorded or stored. Available with Verified Accounts.
