This report provides a comprehensive overview of the current Indigenous housing system in Australia to support development of future policies. The research looked at how Indigenous housing is managed, funded and regulated in Australia and ways to support Indigenous Australians in making their own decisions about their housing.

The report explores the role of local council in boosting housing supply and access for vulnerable people. It assesses factors that shape or limit council contributions, the replicability of novel interventions, and how the State Government can better support local contributions.

This report considers the role that both the Commonwealth and Queensland Governments have in addressing the current housing crisis, and includes a policy review, private rental housing market analysis, and social housing needs analysis.

The analysis outlined in this report reveals that over 600,000 Australian households are in housing stress, with the figure projected to rise to almost one million by 2041 without ongoing funding for social and affordable housing.

The 2022 flooding events in the Northern Rivers worsened an already strained housing system. This project report examines the extent to which existing constraints in the housing system have hindered the flood recovery process.
