The Crisis and Care Accommodation industry forms part of Australia's community welfare sector, and provides services for some of the most economically vulnerable people in Australian society, including children, those with long-term disabilities and the elderly. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, a growing number of Australians were at increased risk of homelessness, with many experiencing financial hardship, persistent disadvantage and social exclusion. A 2022 Australian Council of Social Service report estimated that over 3.0 million Australians lived in poverty in 2019-20, of which 761,000 were children. These figures are likely to still hold in view of an ongoing cost-of-living crisis and the pandemic’s lingering effects.
Industry revenue has grown at a CAGR of 4.4 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $5.1bn in 2024.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
