While ensuring Australians have access to safe, secure, and affordable housing as they age is at the very foundation of health, welfare, and wellbeing, there is currently little coordination or political leadership in the space at any level of government. All three levels of government provide housing assistance programs and instruments, but with little coordination or emphasis on the needs of aging Australians.
