Western Australia Overhauls Social Housing Waitlist After 70 Years
Western Australia is overhauling its social housing waitlist for the first time in 70 years, prioritizing individuals with urgent and complex needs, including domestic violence survivors and rough sleepers, over a 'wait-your-turn' system. A new matrix will assess safety, housing circumstances, medical conditions, accessibility, and cultural considerations, with reforms aiming for early 2028 implementation after a year of consultation.
