Research streams
The Healthy Housing CRE aims to generate new knowledge that can be used for evidence-based policy-making that not only improves housing but maximizes health gains and reduces health inequalities cost effectively.
Research projects will be based in 3 main stream. Each stream will focus on three priority population groups: Indigenous Australians, Australians in need, and Australians renting in the private and social housing sectors.
Centre objectives
As well as generating knowledge, the Healthy Housing CRE aims to:
-
Transfer research outcomes into health policy and decision making in policy and practice at the State and Federal levels in Australia, and internationally via the World Health Organisation Healthy Housing platform
-
Develop Australian research capacity in the interdisciplinary sectors of housing, health and policy implementation
