HELLO webinar

This HELLO webinar will examine the intersections of housing and health inequities. We will be joined by Professor Emma Baker and Dr Amy Clair from the Australian Centre for Housing Research, University of Adelaide, and Bernie Barret from Better Renting, a community and advocacy organisation for renters. Speakers will explore evidence on how housing impacts health, and the policy and advocacy landscape responding to the inequalities in housing affordability and housing conditions in Australia.
