Hi what is an accommodation house for in Australia? Is it used to provide temporary accommodation for those coping with severe health issues?

Thanks.

Hi Marsbeing.

Where did you hear this term?

I came across it in a government document but it also appears here.

I looked at the link. It's not meant to be read as a noun (accommodation house) like guesthouse or greenhouse.

It's to be read as "Shared Accommodation - House Rules", where house rules refer to the rules applicable in that building where shared accommodation is available (the "house").

I see. That makes sense. Thanks Barque! : )
