- Research
This report, collated by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, provides contemporary evidence of the ‘gap within the gap’. It shows that Stolen Generations survivors aged 50 and over are more likely to be worse off than other Indigenous Australians of the same age on a range of health and socioeconomic outcomes.
- Research
This report finds that the additional social housing dwellings announced by the NSW Government since 2016 are insufficient to address the current high numbers of people waiting to access social housing. Despite the NSW Governments commitments through Future Directions for Social Housing, the 2020-21 NSW Budget and the Community Housing Innovation Fund, both social housing total expenditure per capita and social housing as a proportion of total housing stock are in decline in NSW.

The vulnerability of people experiencing homelessness to COVID-19 was also heightened by the higher prevalence of chronic health conditions among the homeless population sleeping rough and in supported accommodation
- Research
The report examines homelessness among the Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CaLD)population in Western Australia. It addresses the challenges of understanding the nature of the population and accessing accurate information to determine the population in order to inform appropriate responses. The report examines some of the definition and measurement issues and provides analysis of the data in light of these in order to clarify our understanding of CaLD homelessness.
- Research
Some evidence received on preventing homelessness during COVID-19 pertains to broad and long-term reform. The Committee intends to give further consideration to this evidence in its final report.
- Research
The authors argue that lived experience can inform sharp critique and offer an innovative window on aspects of the ‘shared typical’.
- Research
The research is based on analysis of customised data from the ABS Census of Population and Housing (the Census), using a method employed in all previous projects that enables comparison of results across the Census years—that is, 1996, 2001, 2006, 2011 and 2016. It provides detailed analysis of changes in affordable rental housing supply for lower income households, nationally, in metropolitan and non-metropolitan Australia, and in capital cities, satellite cities and other major regional cities.
- Research
Our research makes a compelling case for the more formal integration of specialist housing services into both inpatient psychiatric and substance use treatment settings, given the significant risks of housing insecurity that many individuals experience in these settings, including all too common experiences of homelessness.
