Author/s
NHFIC, National Shelter, Bendigo Bank, and Brotherhood St Laurence
Abstract
Annual research tracks rental affordability across Australia and highlights the experiences of disadvantaged households.
The annual rental affordability index (RAI) report is an easy to understand indicator of rental affordability relative to household incomes.
It is a crucial tool for policy-makers to track rental affordability trends and inform evidence-based policy responses.
The RAI is a valuable tool for quantifying the rental affordability challenge in a way that brings out nuances between places and highlights the experiences of disadvantaged households.
We have partnered with National Shelter, Bendigo Bank, and Brotherhood St Laurence on the RAI since 2015.
