Details

Housing is an important social and cultural determinant of health. Aboriginal people thrive in good quality, stable housing that facilitates connection to Country, spirituality and culture, and is close to family, community, and culturally safe services. However, decreasing social housing stock and a complex housing provider system mean these priorities are not always met - impacting tenants’ wellbeing. In partnership with Dharawal and Bidjigal people connected to La Perouse in South-East Sydney, and non-Aboriginal researcher Jacek Anderst, the Housing, Home and Health study sought to understand Aboriginal social housing tenants’ meanings of home, housing priorities and experiences living in mainstream (non-Aboriginal-community-controlled) social housing.

In this FACSIAR Lunch and Learn webinar, Jacek Anderst from the Gunnu-maana (Heal) Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Program, The George Institute for Global Health, UNSW will share findings from the Housing, Home and Health study. Jacek will present the voices of Aboriginal social housing tenants in South-East Sydney, outlining their ideas of ‘home’ and housing priorities, highlighting areas where lived experiences diverge from their expectations and offering practical recommendations for change.

The webinar will be chaired by Dr Jessica Stewart, Executive Director, FACSIAR, Department of Communities and Justice.
