How do i get them to pay me back the money they owe me?

Question

i have three situations.... 1. me and my boyfriend moved into a unit and then let two other young girls move in, these girls thought they could do whatever they wanted had parties and used the phone non stop at my house. On top of that my sister and her friend moved in and basically ran our bills up. Rent wasnt being paied so we packed up the house and moved without the two groups of girls. Or bond was taken from us becoz of damages they had caused to my house (e.g hole in the wall, dirty marks on walls, cigarette marks in carpet, sky high phone bills, unpaid rent and unpaid bills) i sent a letter with the phone bills and rent bills to one of the girls parents and never got a reply. Ive been asking these two groups of girls for the money for a year now and they still wont pay up. The only evidence i have is the phone bill and mabey some utilities bills and typed up rent reciepts of owings. On top of this when we moved i let my best friend move in which was fine until she hadnt paid me

for bills and rent amouting to 300 bucks she keeps saying she will pay me but never does. the only supporting documentation i have to support this is phone bill, electricity bill, gas bill and rent reciepts but nothing to state that she legally paid rent amounting to 60 bucks a week. Some oen told me to get a Statutory Declaration i dunno what it is. someone please help. plus this is in australia, NSW so it applies to legallites in this state.
