This paper revisits the work of the Commonwealth Housing Commission and the connection between the provision of housing and good urban planning that it identified.

This paper points out the contrasts between the housing careers of Indigenous versus non-Indigenous Australians. It seeks to explain these contrasts by examining housing ideologies among Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Australians.

If governments are interested in pursuing more demand driven approaches to housing in indigenous communities, policy-makers need better information about indigenous people's perceptions of home ownership. The study examined the meaning of home ownership for Indigenous people through a survey of 86 Indigenous Australians in five study sites around Australia.

This Positioning Paper is the first report from a project which seeks to add to the research evidence base on the financial and non-financial outcomes of home ownership for households.

This report presents the findings that have emerged out of the second AHURI funded National Research Venture (NRV2), 21st century housing careers and Australia's housing future. The report identifies the major drivers of housing careers in Australia in the first part of the 21st century, as well as policy implications.
