Housing costs are for many households a very significant share of their regular expenditure. This research combines ABS income surveys since 1984 to consider how housing costs have altered up to 2019.

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.

This study explores how critical life events can be used to predict short-term, medium-term and long-term periods of housing stress for individuals and households, which might, in turn, lead to further housing and related forms of disadvantage and support needs.

This report explores the cost of living and financial wellbeing during 2022, with a particular focus on renters and mortgaged homeowners given the rapid rise in interest rates.

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.
