Join ministers, sector leaders, practitioners and people with lived experience at Fraser's Kings Park, Perth on 20 August 2027 for a full-day summit that traces Australia's housing crisis across the full care continuum — and invites every sector to the table to solve it. Through six panel discussions, including a dedicated First Nations panel, the National Housing Summit will: • Set the shared problem statement for why housing has become every sector's emergency • Centre Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices and solutions in the national housing conversation • Identify the system-wide transition points where people are falling through the gaps • Examine how federal and state policy architecture is contributing to the crisis • Spotlight the cross-sector workforce challenges and opportunities • Secure concrete commitments to action from government and sector leaders • Why this summit and why now? Housing insecurity is the common thread running through family violence, disability, mental health, aged care, child protection, alcohol and other drugs, refugee settlement, youth homelessness, veterans' services and justice — but Australia has continued to treat it as a single sector's problem. The evidence is clear and compelling: • Domestic and family violence is the leading cause of homelessness for women and children • More than 30% of people accessing homelessness services have a mental health issue • 1 in 3 people in social housing have a disability • Older women are the fastest growing cohort of homeless Australians • 63% of people exiting AOD treatment into unstable housing relapse within 12 months • 60% of people released from prison expect to be homeless on release Summit Program Panel 1 — One Crisis, Many Names: How Housing Became Every Sector's Emergency Setting the shared problem statement for the day Panel 2 — Country, Community and the Right to Home: First Nations Housing as Self-Determination Centring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices and solutions Panel 3 — Nowhere to Go: The Transition Points Where the System Abandons People The housing cliff edge shared by every sector in the room Panel 4 — The Funding Maze: How Federal and State Policy Architecture Is Keeping People Homeless Policy, funding and accountability reform across jurisdictions Panel 5 — The Workforce Holding It Together: And Why They Cannot Keep Doing It Alone Cross-sector practice, workforce capacity and shared service models Panel 6 — From Crisis to Care: The National Commitments We Leave This Room With Closing panel — from conversation to collective action This is your chance to be part of a genuine first for Australia — a national summit that puts housing at the heart of every sector's agenda and every government's responsibility.
