AMPLIFY Home Truths

Holding governments accountable for the gap between housing promises and reality — and showing where the community is demanding more.

JULY 2026 edition

PROMISES VS REALITY

Australia's housing crisis has become a crisis of confidence. Our research reveals that even where governments are delivering homes, public trust is collapsing at an alarming rate.

Right around the country, Australians are making trade-offs just to keep a roof over their heads — and faith in government to fix it is fading fast. The data is clear: Australia needs more homes, and Australians need belief the system is working for them.

About AMPLIFY Home Truths

We don't think there's enough accountability on Australia's housing targets — so we created AMPLIFY Home Truths. By ranking both housing delivery and community confidence together, we hold governments accountable not just for the homes they build, but for the trust they build along the way.

Drawing on a nationally representative survey of more than 4,000 Australians alongside each jurisdiction's progress on their National Housing Accord targets, every state and territory receives an index score.
