Accom for a few weeks that wont send me broke?

Sadly, the way things are you usually have to be living in your car to be classed as an emergency. The dept of housing has 5-10 year waiting lists.

I can't believe no one can help you out in whats a pretty dire situation?! surely family or friends could just let you crash on the couch or a spare mattress even?

Theres an agency here called "parents without partners" which may be able to organise respite accomm if theres something similar in sydney.

Thanks for all the advice and support but problem solved.

My sister found a place, and although its a one bedroom unit it will do as a place to rest our heads after long days of house hunting. Also help me save more $$$ (and she gets free help with my neice/nephew after they arrive in a few weeks )

That's good news anna! A relief i'll bet. I hope you find a great place for you and the boys! Let me know if I can help in anyway. As a local I can suss things out for you!

I should be right now, my sister/Dad will have time to househunt for me til I fly down on the 7th, hopefully someone will rent me a place before I get there so we have minimal upheaval for the boys. Its so hard though not having lived there for ages; if I dont get a house where I want I need to move my housing range further out but I have zero knowledge of decent area's to live. Being a single mum on my own with 3 kids I want to be somewhere relatively safe you know?

Glad to hear it has worked out for the interim Anna.
