Thank you both for your replies!

My boyfriend and I have had working visas accepted and booked a one way flight to Melbourne arrive the start of January 2018. We will have approx 5000 Australian dollars each. We have no accomodation booked as of yet as we are looking for some advice on where to stay. We are planning on staying in Melbourne for 3 months are looking to secure a job within 3 weeks or arriving. I am hoping someone can give us advice in what to do for accommodation as we are setting for 3 months we think this is too long to stay in a hostel? We are happy to share an apartment with another couple if this is a common thing to do but need advice on safest way to go about this? Also location advice would be great! We are also looking for advice on how realistic we are being expecting a job within 3 weeks. Both have bar experience and have both worked in a bank for the last 4 years so plenty customer service experience. Is it worth our time registering with agencies before we arrive? We are open to take on any work at first and will apply for others if the first job doesn't suit us. Any help is really appreciated!
