Boarding Houses
We inspect boarding houses to make sure they are safe and authorised.
Register your boarding house
NSW Boarding House Register
Boarding houses must be registered on the NSW Fair Trading Boarding House Register. The register is a list of public general and assisted boarding houses that contains information about:
- The name and address of the boarding house
- The boarding house proprietor
- Whether the boarding house is a general house or an assisted boarding house
- The local Council areas in which the boarding house is located.
To search the Register, go to the NSW Fair Training accommodation registers page.
