Workstays Invest is the only end-to-end property solution that identifies and purchases your investment property then furnishes, markets and manages your property, providing high quality, high return housing for the high demand workforce building Australia’s regional renewable energy future — one accountable team, from acquisition to income.
Local agents just don’t get it. Their goal is to build their rent roll and be as passive as possible — which leads to low rental returns.
Workstays is different. We identify and purchase investment properties where worker accomodation demand is high, then manage your asset to maximise your return without the hassle. We already operate across many regional centres, giving Workstays Invest properties direct access to an established corporate client network from day one.
This means strong cash flow in markets that are outperforming on capital growth — while you stay completely hands-off.
Owners are retaining around 80% of gross revenue on average across the current Workstays portfolio.
Properties are generating 1.6 to 3.8x their independent CoreLogic market rent benchmark.

Handing our property over to Workstays has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. The returns have genuinely exceeded our expectations — occupancy has stayed consistently high, and we’re earning significantly more than dealing with a local agent. What I appreciate just as much is the communication. The team keeps us in the loop with regular updates and clear, transparent statements, so I always know exactly how the property is performing. It’s completely hands-off for us, and we have total peace of mind knowing it’s in such capable hands.

Renewable energy, mining and infrastructure investment is drawing a sustained, growing workforce into regional centres — and the existing rental stock can’t keep up. Construction crews, maintenance contractors, FIFO and DIDO workers all need quality, short-to-medium-term accommodation now. For the corporates employing them, the ability to offer high-quality accommodation is a genuine edge in hiring and retaining top talent.
Workstays Invest is built specifically for this gap. We are demand-driven: we target high-demand, low-vacancy regions in or adjacent to a declared Renewable Energy Zone, or that already service an established resources or corporate workforce.
We target regional centres where Renewable Energy Zone activity, resources investment and constrained rental supply combine to create premium accommodation demand.

Our buyer’s agency sources and purchases the right property in a target region – properties that meet Workstays’ criteria for location, configuration and workforce-accommodation suitability. Our edge is our detailed knowledge of markets and relationships developed over years.
We style, furnish and install everything the property needs to go live as a premium Workstays property – furniture, bedding, whitegoods, kitchen supplies and a welcome groceries pack.
Workstays markets and manages your property across a dual-channel model – our established direct corporate accommodation network for high-yield, extended-stay contracts, and OTAs to fill the gaps. One operation, a broader and more resilient revenue base.
We earn 0% on revenue up to your property’s independent market rent appraisal.
Above market rent, our fee catches up.
On every dollar beyond that, you keep 75% – so our incentive is always to push your return higher.
Worked example • independent CoreLogic market rent appraisal: $2,000 / month • Workstays revenue achieved: $6,000
