Housing at the Edge: Retiring Australians in the Private Rental Market
Australia’s private rental market is increasingly becoming the default retirement pathway for older Australians, particularly older women, yet it is fundamentally designed for mobility, not ageing. Coinciding with the 2026–27 Federal Budget, this event positions housing security for retiring Australians as a first-order fiscal, social and aged-care issue. Join the discussion and bring your practical policy ideas and solutions to the table.
