Who we are 
At YHA Australia, we provide affordable, quality accommodation with purpose. We're committed to creating a more open and welcoming world where connections thrive and experiences matter. 
 
What sets us apart? We're a not-for-profit, membership-based organisation where profits go straight back into improving our properties and creating positive social, cultural and environmental impact. For over 80 years, we've been making travel accessible and transformative. 
 
Our network spans 19 uniquely characterful properties across Australia – from the rooftop views of Sydney Harbour YHA to historic cells at Fremantle Prison to eco-retreats nestled in National Parks. 
 
We're proudly part of Hostelling International – a global community of 3,000+ places to stay across 70+ countries that believe travel should do more than move you from place to place. It should move you to think differently, live boldly, and protect the world you're exploring.
