Homes for Australia

The Albanese Labor Government is building more Homes for Australians. We have a target of building 1.2 million homes through our $33 billion Homes for Australia Plan.

✅Achieved

In its first term, the Albanese Labor Government:

Started the biggest housing build in Australia’s history.
Labor is investing $33 billion in housing – 6 times more than the Liberals budgeted over a whole decade.
Is delivering more social and affordable homes.
We're delivering 55,000 social and affordable homes – that's 5 times more than the Liberals did over a whole decade.
Is delivering help to buy a home.
150,000 first home buyers have been helped into their first home with a deposit of 5 per cent of less – and no mortgage insurance. An additional 40,000 workers have been helped into their own home through Help to Buy – with a deposit as low as 2 per cent.
Is delivering a better deal for renters.
Labor has helped nearly 1 million households with the cost of rent by increasing rent assistance, up by 45% since we were elected.
We’re make renting better through new national standards including by limiting rent increases and banning 'no grounds' evictions.
Is training more tradies.
Labor's Free TAFE and $10,000 incentive payments for apprentices in construction are helping us to build more Homes for Australians.
