Our Story

Why I Started Navvia

I’m Patrick, founder of Navvia.
After helping countless international students settle into Melbourne, I saw the same challenges repeat over and over: scam listings, unclear rental rules, unfair treatment from agents, and students feeling lost in a new country.

I created Navvia to make sure no student had to go through that stress alone.

What Problems We Solve

The Challenges Students Face

• Not knowing which rentals are safe

• Getting ignored by agents

• Confusing application requirements

• Fear of scams

• Feeling alone when arriving

Navvia bridges this gap — guiding students every step of the way with simple, supportive, and local help.

How Navvia Helps You

From rental searching and inspections to move-in prep and local setup, I support students through the entire relocation experience — with the goal of making them feel safe, informed, and confident.

Navvia is here to make that happen.

I regularly publish guides to help students prepare before moving. See the latest blog here.
