Mortgage default in Australia: nature, causes and social and economic impacts

Summary

This research will examine the sources, nature and implications of mortgage default among Australian homeowners over the last several years, since the completion of initial AHURI research in 1999. It will assist policy makers to identify the key risk factors leading to or triggering mortgage default, and guide their responses in terms of housing assistance, educational programs or monitoring programs to track default.
