This free webinar presented findings from the AHURI research project — Towards an Australian social housing best practice asset management framework — led by Dr Andrea Sharam, RMIT University. This research examines social housing asset management in Australia and develops a best practice framework that outlines asset management processes and criteria for making decisions; reflects the unique aspects of social housing; is flexible enough to be used by different types of social housing providers; provides metrics to drive organisational excellence; and provides the basis for national regulation and policymaking.
