Description
The federal government’s comprehensive $47 billion plan to rebuild Australia’s housing system. It identifies policy levers at the Commonwealth, state and territory, and local government levels. The plan:
- brings together the progress already made, including the actions taken in the 2026–27 federal Budget
- focuses effort across government and ensures agencies are working toward a shared vision and clear goals
- guides policy decisions and investment over the long term
- strengthens coordination across all levels of government, alongside industry, investors, and the non-government sector
- identifies priorities for further reform and directs future housing and homelessness investment.
Priorities
- Building the homes Australia needs so housing becomes more affordable.
- Levelling the playing field for first home buyers so more Australians can own a home of their own.
- Making renting fairer and more affordable so renters can live in security and plan for the future.
- Growing the social and affordable housing sector so more Australians have a stable place to call home.
- Closing the housing gap in genuine partnership with First Nations Australians.
- Supporting people experiencing homelessness, crisis, and family and domestic violence with a strengthened system.
