The rent price index in Australia in the first quarter of 2025 was *****, marking an increase from the same quarter of the previous year. Rent prices had decreased in 2020; in Melbourne and Sydney, this was mainly attributed to the absence of international students during the coronavirus outbreak. The current state of the rental market in Australia The rental market in Australia has been marked by varying conditions across different regions. Among the capital cities, Sydney has long been recognized for having some of the highest average rents. As of March 2025, the average weekly rent for a house in Sydney was *** Australian dollars, which was the highest average rent across all major cities in Australia that year. Furthermore, due to factors like population growth and housing demand, regional areas have also seen noticeable increases in rental prices. For instance, households in the non-metropolitan area of New South Wales’ expenditure on rent was around ** percent of their household income in the year ending June 2024. Housing affordability in Australia Housing affordability remains a significant challenge in Australia, contributing to a trend where many individuals and families rent for prolonged periods. The underlying cause of this issue is the ongoing disparity between household wages and housing costs, especially in large cities. While renting offers several advantages, it is worth noting that the associated costs may not always align with the expectation of affordability. Approximately one-third of participants in a recent survey stated that they pay between ** and ** percent of their monthly income on rent. Recent government initiatives, such as the 2024 Help to Buy scheme, aim to make it easier for people across Australia to get onto the property ladder. Still, the multifaceted nature of Australia’s housing affordability problem requires continued efforts to strike a balance between market dynamics and the need for accessible housing options for Australians.

Rental is Australia’s emerging tenure. Each year the proportion of Australians who rent increases, many of us will rent for life, and for the first time in generations there are now more renters than home owners. Though the rental sector is home to almost one-third of all Australians, researchers and policy-makers know little about conditions in this growing market because there is currently no systematic or reliable data. This project provides researchers and policy stakeholders with an essential database on Australia’s rental housing conditions. This data infrastructure will provide the knowledge base for national and international research and allow better urban, economic and social policy development. Building on The 2016 Australian Housing Conditions Dataset, in 2020 we collected data on the housing conditions of 15,000 rental households, covering all Australian states and territories. The project is funded by the Australian Research Council and The University of Adelaide, in partnership with the University of South Australia, the University of Melbourne, Swinburne University of Technology, Curtin University and Western Sydney University and is led by Professor Emma Baker at the University of Adelaide. The Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute provided funding for the focussed COVID-19 Module.

The Car Rental industry in Australia has exhibited very high volatility over recent years, with revenue recovering strongly from steep slumps during the pandemic. Air passenger movements and international travel to Australia have risen sharply, heightening demand as tourists rent cars for their stay. Fleet shortages resulting from vehicle supply chain issues have raised the average daily rates for rental cars. These price hikes can support revenue but also steer consumers away to alternatives. Ride-sharing services and price-comparison websites have become increasingly popular, which has created intense price competition. This has forced car rental companies to keep their prices in check to maintain market share, eroding profitability. Revenue is expected to have climbed at an annualised 1.0% over the five years through 2024-25 to $1.49 billion, with no expected change anticipated in 2024-25. Major players like Hertz and Avis dominate the Car Rental industry, which is highly concentrated. Smaller players struggle to capture market share since there are significant entry costs and it’s difficult to become entrenched in airports, which is essential for success. Consumer preferences have shifted from smaller passenger vehicles to medium and large ones because of their space and versatility. Car rental businesses are mainly located in high-population states and popular tourist destinations, as this provides easy access to customers. Looking ahead, economic recovery and expanded aviation routes between Australian cities and South-East Asia will drive increased international travel, benefiting industry demand. Price competition from aggregator websites and the rising popularity of substitutes will continue to pressure the industry, tempering rental prices. Car rental companies will keep developing their digital platforms, providing consumers with a more seamless hiring process. Revenue is forecast to climb at an annualised 2.4% over the five years through 2029-30 to $1.67 billion.

Housing serves many purposes in our society. It provides space for raising families, for leisure and rest, and increasingly, our housing doubles as a workspace. Housing also impacts our mental and physical health due to factors such as cold, mould, poorly managed maintenance issues, unaffordability, and inequality. Despite the centrality of housing in our everyday lives, we as researchers are yet to have a systematic understanding of Australian housing conditions and changes over time. Building on the earlier housing conditions projects in this series, including the Australian Housing Conditions Dataset (2016) and the Australian Rental Housing Conditions Dataset (2020), in 2022 we collected data on the housing conditions of 15,000 rental (including private and public) households and 7,500 homeowners, covering all Australian states and territories. Recognising the emerging importance of renting in Australia, the sampling was weighted to oversample rental households. This data infrastructure will provide the knowledge base for national and international research and allow better urban, economic and social policy development. The project is funded by the Australian Research Council through the Linkage Infrastructure, Equipment and Facilities (LIEF) grant program, in partnership with The University of Adelaide, the University of South Australia, the University of Melbourne, Swinburne University of Technology, Curtin University and Torrens University Australia and is led by Professor Emma Baker at the University of Adelaide.
