"One in eight Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander households across Australia faced unmet housing needs in 2021, according to ground breaking AHURI research. The study marks the first comprehensive review of First Nations housing governance, resources and regulation in Australia, and provides an up-to-date assessment of their unmet housing needs."
‘Our research revealed 45,700 low-income Indigenous households had unmet housing needs, representing 13% of all Indigenous households,’ says lead author of the research, Associate Professor Megan Moskos from the University of Adelaide. ‘For comparison, that is almost double the rate for all Australian households, which sits just below 7%.’
