The Australian Government is developing a National Housing and Homelessness Plan to help more Australians access safe and affordable housing.

The 10-year plan will create a comprehensive national vision to improve outcomes across the housing spectrum.

The Department of Social Services is running extensive consultation on the plan, seeking feedback from the public through online submissions and consultation sessions.

Two consultation sessions will be held in Tasmania, or you can log in to one of two national webinars.
