Improving housing as
a gateway to stronger
communities

Whether in remote, regional or urban areas, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people face significant barriers in both access to, and as a result of, housing.
It has been acknowledged that a holistic approach will help to overcome these challenges; Improving collaboration across service providers and communities, increasing community input and considering links with employment and training.
This is no simple task, but the resounding effects on a community's overall wellbeing, even as a result of small changes can be immense.
