Citizen Science Housing Conditions Gallery

We know very little about the conditions of Australian homes. This gallery provides an accessible platform to document examples of Australian homes to better understand the material conditions of Australian properties and the extent and characteristics of common building problems.

This gallery is part of the Australian Housing Conditions Dataset project, which is the biggest national survey collecting information about housing conditions across all Australian states and territories. Images in this gallery have been submitted by anonymous individuals across Australia. By contributing photos to this gallery, you will be helping researchers and policymakers encourage discussion about the importance of housing conditions in Australia.
