Global Leadership Series: how do we house every Australian? (in person)

Listen to the event recording

National house prices have risen at record rates. Today, over 400,000 Australians are in need of affordable housing and over 150,000 are on public housing waiting lists (source: ACOSS).

As homelessness increases and support systems are stretched to the limit, the root causes of housing insecurity, and the barriers to affordable housing, remain sources of debate.

Join a panel of experts as they share their research into this growing crisis, its impact on the most vulnerable, and how we can move toward a future where all Australians enjoy the security of a stable home.
