This research examined Australia’s multi-provider social housing system and analysed changes over time to social housing delivery. It finds Australia lacks long-term, sustainable social housing growth models and the report offers policymakers options to reverse the decline.

The coordination and integration of housing policy and settlement planning with disaster prevention, preparedness, response and recovery is essential. This final report finds that climate-related disasters in Australia are set to increase. To keep up, policies, practices and priorities must be better coordinated to meet both short- and long-term needs.

The variety of policy problems, solutions and actors in the housing policy space makes organising housing policy challenging. This research explores how changes to government administrative structures and processes affect housing policy in Australia. It outlines what can be done to reduce some of the negative impacts of these changes.

Housing is heavily impacted during disasters, so it's crucial that housing policy works closely with disaster risk reduction and response. This research looks at how housing policy and planning can better prepare for natural disasters, and enable recovery from them. It examines institutional arrangements, planning coordination and disaster management responses.

This research examines housing trends and the processes of delivering affordable housing supply in rural and regional Australia. A clear research finding is the need for government action to ‘unfreeze’ rural and regional housing markets, making substantial investments and interventions in regional housing markets and developing stronger supply chains for rural and regional housing.
