Fully furnished homes, sourced, set up and maintained by Lume around PALM accommodation standards. You focus on recruitment; we handle everything behind it.
Finding suitable homes, preparing them for new arrivals and managing ongoing property needs all take time and coordination. For PALM Approved Employers, accommodation is another important responsibility alongside recruitment and workforce management.
Securing suitable accommodation in the right location before workers arrive can be challenging, especially in regional areas.
Furnishing homes, connecting utilities and gathering property details and photos for accommodation plans all require careful coordination.
Inspections, maintenance, repairs and everyday property needs continue well beyond move-in day.
Every Lume home is set up in line with PALM accommodation standards, so you can welcome your workers knowing the housing is already taken care of.
Keep your focus on recruitment. We provide the photos, inventories and property details your accommodation plan draws on, so your team can add your own information and submit.
Every home is fully equipped before your workers arrive, so their first day starts in a place that is ready to live in.
Comfortable homes where safety and privacy are looked after, so your workers settle in, feel secure and stay satisfied.
From utilities and internet to garden care and everyday upkeep, we look after every home, so the day-to-day running is taken care of. And if a PALM audit throws a curveball, we’re on hand to work through it with you.
Tell us where your workers are heading and how many people you need to accommodate. Once we've agreed to work together, we'll prepare your Property Pack: suitable homes set up around PALM accommodation standards, with the photos, documents and details your accommodation plan needs, ready for you to add your information and submit.

Lume looks after the property side. You keep your focus on your workforce and your own PALM responsibilities.
Lume provides workforce accommodation across Melbourne, regional Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania. We know these areas, we work with the local real estate agents and service providers who keep homes running, and we follow up on anything that needs attention.
Established relationships with agents and trades in each area mean we know who to call and how to get things moving.
Scheduled inspections, property records and maintenance follow-up keep every home in good order.
As your workforce expands into new regions, we can source and set up suitable homes there too.
We started Lume because we believe the people who come to work in Australia deserve a better place to come home to. A good home makes for a settled worker, and a settled worker makes for a stronger workplace.
Years of hands-on PALM experience mean we understand the accommodation standards Approved Employers work to, and every Lume home is set up around them.
We’ve been where you are. Having worked on the employer’s side of PALM, we know what Approved Employers look for in accommodation, and how to make it easier for them.
A small, dedicated team stays close to every home and every employer, so you always know who to talk to.
From the first inspection to the last day of the placement, we look after the accommodation.
Tell us where your workers are heading and how many people you need to accommodate. We’ll discuss suitable options and how Lume can support your plans.
