Social housing dwellings data are provided by state and territory housing authorities. The data are a snapshot of dwellings available on 30 June of the reference year. There is considerable diversity in the number and characteristics of dwellings in the main four social housing programs in Australia (public housing, state owned and managed Indigenous housing (SOMIH), community housing and Indigenous community housing). The diversity in the number and characteristics of available social housing dwellings stems partly from the sale and redevelopment or refurbishment of social housing dwellings across time. The information presented throughout this report provides insights into this diversity and serves as a snapshot of the condition and functioning of Australia’s social housing system and programs in 2021.

The Report on Government Services (RoGS) provides information on the equity, effectiveness and efficiency of government services in Australia. The 2022 RoGS was progressively released between 25 January and 3 February 2022. A mid-year data update aims to improve the timeliness of information in the RoGS and was released on 7 June 2022. This section presents data on the performance of governments in providing social housing, including public housing (PH), State owned and managed Indigenous housing (SOMIH), community housing (CH) and Indigenous community housing (ICH).
