Bills and expenses

Fisher House offers so much more than a regular boarding house, student accommodation, or furnished flat because when you arrive, everything you need is here and included in your rate. The only add on is your linen selection which you make with your booking and that too will be in your room on arrival. Fisher House rates include water, electricity, use of washing machines (& washing liquid) & clothes dryers. Extra homely touches include coffee machine, tea, instant coffee, filtered water & fully equipped kitchens.

What do your rates include?
1. Electricity & water are included as is use of the laundry (incl washing liquid).
2. All communal areas are professionally cleaned three times per week & individual rooms are professionally cleaned fortnightly. Just as in a normal home, everyone living in Fisher House is responsible for the general cleanliness & day to day chores around the house.
3. Our coffee station is fully stocked with assorted teas & instant coffee but, we also have a coffee machine which is fully stocked with fresh roasted beans.
4. Access to Wifi in the central hub areas is currently offered as a bonus inclusion if / when available, but the Wi-Fi is not guaranteed. This is an ongoing NBN issue, and a solution is being sought. Once the telecom company can find a solution, Wi-Fi will be inclusive.

What is not included?
Bed linen, pillows, duvets and towels - We offer quality "recycled" Linen Packs for rent during your stay, or we can supply new Linen Packs for you to purchase. Check out our website.

We really are just like a home away from home so once you have paid for your rent & selected your linen option you really only have your wifi and food to arrange.

About the occupants
Fisher House is a Share House for Women Only and we aim to provide a safe, clean, homely environment where you can relax during your time in Brisbane, whether that be for study, work, working holiday, relocation or you are a local and just need to rent a single room. Our tenants must be 18+years old, and our rooms are currently single occupancy only.

We offer a friendly and social environment, but we are not a 'party house'. Women who stay at Fisher House are from many cultural & religious backgrounds, various ages, and different stages of study or work life - In 2023, we even had an International Olympian, here for an intensive 3-month training program. Fisher House tenants are national & international students- undergrad / TAFE and College students; Grad students & PHD students. Being located so centrally to Brisbane's biggest hospitals we also have several nurses and nursing students. Fisher house is the perfect choice for international travellers with working holiday visas wanting to take advantage of our 3-month leases. We would be ideal for country Queensland women who need a short- medium term Brisbane City base because everything you need in a home away from home is here, and our location is so central.

We accept first time Australian and International renters based on interview and personal background. Our tenancy acceptance is not just based on whether you have a rental history. Fisher House provides a perfect home away from home no matter whether you are working, studying, or travelling, and need a base in Brisbane for the duration of your stay with leases ranging between 3 and 12 months.
Compatible people
Fisher House is more than simply a share house. Our tenants feel that they are a community and this seems to stem from our approach of operating under the umbrella of 7 core values - respect, trust, compassion, integrity, tolerance, understanding, & grace. When our tenants, visitors, managers, and staff embrace these values as the core of our approach to living and working in a Shared Housing environment, actively embracing the House Rules and Etiquettes as guidelines, daily life at Fisher House is calm, harmonious, and enjoyable for all.
