Our biennial Australian Homelessness Conference brings together the Australian homelessness sector to build on policy and practice to end homelessness at a national, state and local level. The program will feature the latest research and best practices in homelessness service provision.

Over the last 25 years affordability of rental homes has been steadily eroding. Recent AHURI research found that more households with high incomes are renting – worsening the shortage of affordable private rental homes for very low income households. With this trend set to continue, what does this mean for rental policy in Australia?

The build, operation and demolition of Australian homes contribute significantly to Australia’s embodied carbon emissions, which will continue to grow as more homes are built. In the face of the climate crisis and the housing affordability crisis, a shift to circular economy housing is urgently needed and requires multi-directional effort.

This webinar will explore the findings from AHURI Cities research project, Improving Australian climate change adaptation strategies: learning from international experiences. Discussion will focus on what Australia can do to protect and support communities, and their homes, to adapt to climate change and reduce the impacts of natural disasters.

This 90 minute panel discussion explored the findings from the AHURI Inquiry: Financing home ownership: opportunities and challenges, including a discussion of what actions first home buyers are taking to achieve home ownership, and what policy interventions do and don’t work to support first home buyers in the Australian market.
