In 2023, the Australian Government will begin developing a 10 year National Housing and Homelessness Plan. The Plan is an opportunity for generational change to both identify and address the problems underpinning our current dysfunctional housing system and the issues driving homelessness.

You are invited to join the national housing and homelessness peaks and sector colleagues to hear about the scope and ambition needed in the Plan and the major policy reforms that are needed to address the housing crisis and to end homelessness.
