A new report has labelled Tasmania a standout performer in the delivery of new social and affordable housing stock.
The Revival of Social Housing Construction in Australia 2020-2030 report shows Tasmania has delivered a 14.8 per cent increase in the number of social and affordable rental homes between 2020-21 and 2024-25, ahead of every other jurisdiction and well ahead of the national average of 5.4 per cent.
Minister for Housing and Planning, Kerry Vincent, said the Tasmanian Government is pulling out all stops to deliver more housing.
"Every home we build means another Tasmanian household can feel secure and supported," Minister Vincent said.
"While this report is welcome, we must not lose sight of the task ahead of us.
"There isn't an easy answer to how we fix housing insecurity in Tasmania, and as Minister I want to see even more being done.
"It will take everyone in our community to ensure that we can help our fellow Tasmanians when they need it most.
"There are more than 1,300 social homes in Homes Tasmania's pipeline with construction underway across the state.
"It's all part of our commitment to delivering more homes as we work towards our target of 10,000 social and affordable homes by 2032.
"We are currently more than 46 per cent towards that target.
"As of 31 December 2025, there have been 4,597 households supported into a housing outcome since October 2020.
"We are helping Tasmanians deal with the challenges they face with compassion and commonsense, like putting a roof over their heads."
