If you are a permanent resident, eg have a lease or agreement regarding a private 
room, liable to enrol for elections, collect your mail and other deliveries there,
have notified educator and medicare etc that this is your "permanent" address
until next residence found.

I wonder if there is any legal restraint on you having a separate telephone line
connected for your individual use per freedom of trade and competition etc.

Have a look at ACA (Aust Comms Auth) or ACCC (Aust Competition/Consumer? ?)
