ABOUT THE SESSION
Plenary Session 3 - Australia under pressure: housing and the resilience divide
Join Kos Samaras, Australia’s most influential pollster, as he unpacks the groundbreaking Australian Resilience Index - the first of its kind to map financial, health and social resilience across Australia’s neighbourhoods. Revealing stark divides in people’s ability to weather a crisis, the findings challenge familiar assumptions about who is struggling and why. What does this new picture of Australia mean for housing policy and investment? And how should the community housing sector and our political leaders respond?
