Housing Australia is the independent national housing authority. Housing Australia works with the private sector, community housing providers and all levels of Government to facilitate and deliver programs that help more Australians to access social and affordable housing or to buy a home.
To help deliver on its purpose, Housing Australia set five strategic objectives focused on building the business and continuing to embed best-practice systems, processes and governance practices into operations.
The strategic objectives are to:
facilitate the sustainable growth of the community housing sector across Australia
facilitate investment to increase the supply of social and affordable housing
strengthen stakeholder relationships that support better housing outcomes
deliver high-performance organisation practices and outcomes
establish a best-practice governance regime.
Housing Australia’s strategic objectives reflect that the organisation is maturing and progressing from a build phase of operations to an innovation and growth phase. Housing Australia is well positioned for continued success as the business adapts to the needs of its clients and the changing operating environment.
