Details

Convened every two years by AHURI, the National Housing Conference (NHC) is a 3-day forum that examines the latest evidence, significant policy reforms and the shining examples of best practice in delivering social and affordable housing options to Australians. More than 1,100 delegates joined us in Darwin for a memorable 2019 conference and we expect an even larger audience will join us in Melbourne, or for the first time, online, for NHC 2022.

The State of Victoria is undertaking major housing reforms, underpinned by the Big Housing Build – aiming to deliver more than 12,000 new social and affordable homes in four years. The State is also undertaking significant reforms in domestic and family violence and mental health – policy areas where safe and secure housing has been identified as critical to a successful response. Having also borne the brunt of Australia’s COVID-19 outbreak, Melbourne is the appropriate location to unpack all the housing impacts and policy responses from governments, service providers and industry.
