Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG): Reporting Standard

In 2022, the Community Housing Industry Association (CHIA) commissioned a standard tool for measuring, managing, reporting and interpreting community impact generated by the Australian community housing sector with the support of NHFIC and other partners. The result is the first edition of the ESG Reporting Standard for Australian community housing, developed for, and by, the sector.

NHFIC is proud to support the ESG Reporting Standard and partner with CHIA to promote a better understanding of the value that well-built and managed social and affordable rental housing can bring to the community and the economy. This initiative will encourage deeper investor interest, providing further foundations to build social and affordable housing as a viable asset class in Australia.

Analysis on Australia’s rental markets

Around 31 per cent or nearly 3 million households in Australia are renters, with 26 per cent of households renting from private landlords and 3 per cent of households renting from state or territory housing authorities. Changes in the rental market are important because they typically accommodate lower income earners who are more vulnerable to experiencing housing stress. The COVID-19 pandemic period has had a substantial impact on Australia’s rental markets, with vacancy rates now at low levels in most cities and regions. There has also been an unusually high degree of variance in rental markets due to specific local demand and supply drivers.
