About this Event

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.


Agenda
Opening by National Shelter on the scale and urgency of housing insecurity
Evidence with expert speakers addressing rental insecurity
Lived experience contribution highlighting real-world impacts
Solutions spotlight with various speakers
Facilitated policy discussions
