Home Remedy

Substandard indoor environments—marked by extreme temperatures, dampness, mould, and poor air quality—contribute significantly to chronic illness in Australia. The Healthy Housing project is investigating evidence-based health standards for residential housing to address these risks. By collaborating with stakeholders like Tenants Victoria, Asthma Australia, and the Green Building Council, we are evaluating how improved building regulations and retrofits can protect health. Our goal is to develop scalable, research-informed solutions and recommendations that reduce hospital presentations and ensure safer, healthier homes for all Australians.
