The authors of this report assert that a lack of policy reform and action in Australia has resulted in increasing numbers of older people facing their later years living in precarious housing situations.

This research investigates how Australia can supply new and retrofit older apartments so that they are sustainable - that is, they are comfortable; deliver cost reductions for householders, while minimising consumption and waste; and maximise energy efficiencies and energy management, both in their construction and throughout their lifecycle.

This research investigates lower income older households’ preferences for a range of alternative housing models and examines which of these would best meet their needs, as well as identifying ways to support households deciding their housing options.

This research investigates the potential of alternative housing models to increase the supply of affordable housing for older Australians and the role alternative financing schemes could play in expanding those options.
