Victoria has one of Australia's most mature rooming house regulatory regimes, registered through Consumer Affairs Victoria, alongside very strong university catchments in Melbourne.

Student accommodation suits Carlton and Clayton. Co-living suits Richmond and Southbank. Rooming houses suit Dandenong and Werribee. Dual occupancy suits Werribee and Melton.

Confirm registration as a rooming house operator and meet the Rooming House Standards. Co-living must satisfy local council planning. Engage a licensed legal adviser and planner.
