Funding boost to specialist homelessness services

We’re providing a 20% funding boost to existing specialist homelessness service providers as part of a $208.9 million funding package over 4 years to 2028–29.

The 20% funding boost will give frontline workers more certainty so they can:

  • meet rising staffing costs
  • deliver their services
  • meet the growing housing demand
  • help more people who are experiencing homelessness get the support they need to find and keep a place to live.

Crisis accommodation initiatives

We’re providing an additional $380.1 million over 5 years to deliver crisis accommodation initiatives and support the delivery of frontline housing and homelessness services.
