Work with us

We’re recognised for our unique transdisciplinary approach to social housing research. When you partner with HOME, you benefit from our world-class research expertise and network of varied partners.

As the only research centre at Deakin combining researchers from all four faculties into one interdisciplinary group, our 30+ strong team enables a holistic understanding and approach to complex housing issues.

Our researchers bring together communities, not-for-profit organisations, industry and government to co-design unique solutions and create affordable, sustainable and inclusive housing.

HOME’s work is guided by our vision to provide ‘a home for all’ – affordable, safe, well-designed, sustainable and connected housing for everyone. In turn, our research findings help inform better policy interventions to build stronger cities, suburbs and neighbourhoods.
