Social Housing

We’re making our State’s social housing system fairer by restarting annual rent reviews and eligibility checks.

While tens of thousands of Queenslanders were stuck on the waitlist, the former Labor Government didn’t ask for updated information from almost half of existing social housing tenants.

Some have been earning $200,000 a year but paying less than $200 a week in rent.

That’s just not fair, so we’re fixing it.

Our reforms will make sure the system is properly managed so housing help is better targeted to the people who need it most.
