The Rental Affordability Snapshot is designed to highlight the lived experience of looking for housing while on a low income. It focuses on the Australian population who earn the least income – Commonwealth benefit recipients and minimum wage earners.
Each year in April, Anglicare Australia agencies across Australia search local newspapers and real estate websites for rental accommodation. And each year the results clearly demonstrate the lack of affordable and appropriate housing for people on low incomes.

Rental Affordability Snapshot 2018

29 Apr 2018 by Anglicare Australia
Our housing system is failing millions of Australians. Rents have been rising much faster than people’s incomes. And we don’t have enough secure, affordable rentals. This year’s Rental Affordability Snapshot shows that we need action now to stop more and more people from falling into rental stress and hardship. This year's snapshot is also available online at www.anglicare-ras.com.
