"There is mounting evidence of health and social impacts of renting - this is about housing quality and insecurity". @OldTreasuryMelb @MonashHistory @CUTransitions #MakingPublicHistories

Kath Hulse discusses "the boiling frog" - we have identified the issues in the rental crisis but are facing a crisis of "policy inertia" despite market change. #MakingPublicHistories @OldTreasuryMelb @MonashHistory @CUTransitions

Kath Hulse highlights how renting is not a transitional stage between leaving home and buying as it has been perceived in the past - it has become a long-term option. #MakingPublicHistories @OldTreasuryMelb @MonashHistory @CUTransitions

Kath Hulse discusses the rise of casual and contract labour - "neither of which give certainty about income and one's ability to sustain mortgage or rental payments" #MakingPublicHistories @MonashHistory @OldTreasuryMelb @CUTransitions

Kath Hulse discusses the decline of private renting between 1945 and 1971, matching the rise in private home ownership. #MakingPublicHistories @OldTreasuryMelb @MonashHistory @CUTransitions

Was an honour and a pleasure to be in the cortège procession of my great colleague and friend Prof. @NFrantzeskaki for her inaugural lecture as Professor in @UniUtrecht. Great insight - was full of 'memory lane' photos and insights from @ConnectingNBS. Thanks Niki!

I am extremely proud to have received the Emerging Outstanding Researcher Award in the School of Health Science @Swinburne for 2023.
I couldn't have achieved this award without my fantastic Australian and international collaborators.
