- Hi @Trooper49, might also be worth speaking to the social worker at the hospital.
I'm in rural Tas and was very fortunate to be given very affordable accommodation through the social worker at the public hospital I attended.
Hope you are able to find something suitable and affordable, certainly helps to take one stress away.
Best wishes,
