The Queensland Government is working towards ending homelessness, recognising that vulnerable community members deserve access to safe, secure, and affordable housing. To address this pressing issue, the Government has launched an independent review of the homelessness response in Queensland, led by Rachel Hunter PSM. This review aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the current state of homelessness, identify gaps in the existing support systems, and propose actionable solutions to ensure that no one is without a safe place to call home.
The independent reviewer has provided initial findings in this review update, which:
- summarises the approach that the reviewer has taken during the first phase
- includes recommendations for short-term actions to improve homelessness responses ahead of longer term reforms.
