The plan will be a 10-year strategy. It will set out a shared vision to inform future housing and homelessness policy in Australia.

The plan will set out the key short, medium and longer term reforms needed to address housing challenges.

The Australian Government has released this issues paper on housing and homelessness in Australia. The paper provides a brief overview of some of the known issues in different parts of the housing and homelessness systems, and poses a series of discussion questions.
