Ticket sales for the live event have ended, but you will find a recording posted at https://www.healthyhousing-cre.org/ after the event.

Australia is making steps towards a healthier housing system, but more needs to be done and there&#x27;s a lot we can learn from overseas. The National Health and Medical Research Council-funded <a href="https://www.healthyhousing-cre.org/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Centre for Research Excellence in Healthy Housing</a> aims to lead and shape a <a href="https://www.healthyhousing-cre.org/post/7-questions-a-healthy-housing-agenda-should-ask" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">healthy housing agenda</a> for Australia. To officially launch the Centre, we&#x27;re bringing together leading housing researchers to imagine a future where housing and health sit in the same policy room; where everyone can access affordable, warm, dry, safe and stable accommodation. Expert panellists will discuss the benefits of healthy housing, how research has informed policy overseas, and what we can do next in Australia to fulfil our aspirations. The online panel features 5 lead researchers from the Healthy Housing CRE. With decades of combined experience, they have been involved in writing the <a href="https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789241550376" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">WHO Housing and Health guidelines</a>, creating robust evidence on how housing affects health, and translating research into tangible policy outcomes.
