Message from the Managing Director and Chair
‘The Institute works with a diverse range of stakeholders—
our Strategic Plan incorporates strategies and objectives
that reflect the diversity of needs of our partners.’

It is our pleasure to present the Strategic Plan 2022-2027 for the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute.
Our new Strategic Plan has been developed in a context of considerable uncertainty and change. Current economic,
social and environmental challenges highlight the importance of safe and secure housing, supportive and connected
communities, and well-planned urban and regional environments. These challenges also sharpen the need for reliable,
rigorous and independent evidence to inform decision making by governments and industry.
In this context, the role of AHURI is crucial, as the only organisation in Australia dedicated exclusively to housing,
homelessness, cities and related urban research.
The Institute works with a diverse range of stakeholders—our Strategic Plan incorporates strategies and objectives that
reflect the diversity of needs of our partners. The plan has been developed collaboratively with staff and representatives
of Australian government, state and territory governments, universities, community services and private sectors.
Through this process we have confirmed the Institute’s vision and mission, which will determine what we are working to
achieve and how we will work to achieve it. This plan sets out our direction for the next five years. Our annual operational
plans will be developed to advance our strategic goals and deliver on our mission.
This strategic plan is a living document that we will review regularly, with our partners, to ensure we continue to extend
our impact and position ourselves for future challenges.
