YHA Australia is a brand of hostels and backpack accommodations. It is part of Hostelling, International (HI) - the largest backpacking accommodation network in the world. HI properties have 4,000 accommodations in 90 countries all over the world. YHA Australia has 75 well appointed and affordable hostels in the country from Sydney to Perth, Darwin to Hobart, and everywhere else in between.

Every YHA Australia property is different and no two hostels are the same. Some are situated in old train carriages, some in old movie theatres, tropical bungalows, and some in old prison cells. The brand also has a number of purpose built eco friendly properties. Headquartered in Sydney, New South Wales, the brand was founded in 1939. Aside from backpack accommodations, they also specialize in tours and activities. They have membership offers and also aim to integrate sustainability practices into their every day operations.

As a non profit association, all of their profits go back into their properties and the experience they provide. YHA Australia also provides guests with access to travel deals. This includes packages like the Adelaide to Alice Springs 6-Day Rock Patrol, the 3-Day Great Ocean Road and Grampians Adventure, the Fraser Island and Whitsundays package, the Blue Mountains Overnight Tour, and more.
