In 2024, Everybody’s Home convened Australia’s first People’s Commission into the Housing Crisis.
The Commission heard from more than 1,500 Australians living on the frontline of the crisis and over 120 organisations who support them.
Twelve hearings were held in person and online, revealing that Australia’s housing crisis has far-reaching consequences.

The Commissioners called for a drastic rethink of how Australia tackles housing.
