Ageing in place: home and housing for Australia’s older renters

Published 28th September 2022

This report is the third in Anglicare Australia’s Australia Fair Series. Projects released as part of the series are evidence-based, reflect the voices of Anglicare Australia clients, and are designed to set the policy agenda.

This report explores how Australians want to age and the barriers they face to staying at home, especially for renters. It presents the findings of a survey that looked at older people’s preferences around ageing at home.

• Part I explores the experiences of older people in the rental market and how they are preparing for ageing.
• Part II looks at the care that renters need to age healthily at home.
• Part III looks at the safety and security of housing and what this means for healthy ageing.

The survey featured in this report was conducted by Ipsos, commissioned by Anglicare Australia.
