After a decade of Coalition neglect, Labor's brought the Commonwealth back into housing with an ambitious housing agenda to make it easier to buy your own home and better when you rent.
Delivering on housing
• Helped 200,000 Australians through the Home Guarantee Scheme – twice what the last Government did.
• Passed Labor’s Help to Buy law in the Parliament, getting 40,000 more low and middle-income Australians into home ownership with a smaller mortgage and smaller deposit.
• Made back-to-back increases to Commonwealth Rent Assistance.
• Improving renters’ rights through National Cabinet.
• Passed Labor’s Build to Rent legislation in Parliament, getting an extra 80,000 rental properties into the pipeline.
• Through the first round of the Housing Australia Future Fund, we’re delivering more than 13,000 new social and affordable homes around the country.
