AMPLIFY Home Truths

AMPLIFY's Work

AMPLIFY Newsroom

71% of Australians agree that the Australian promise has been broken.  

For decades Australians have enjoyed a rising standard of living, the expectation of a fair go for all, and a belief that the next generation would enjoy greater opportunity than the last.

The promise to Australians has been broken.

AMPLIFY brings Australians together to confront hard truths, shape bold solutions, and advocate for change to rebuild the promise — while we still can.

Meet a few of our community members

Tonia Krebs

"As a property professional and financial wellbeing advocate, I want to see practical, data-driven strategies that improve affordability, increase occupancy, and deliver sustainable homes through collaboration between community, government and industry."

Jim Hardy

"I am a retired community banker who firsthand has seen how private-sector inspired action makes a REAL difference. Government alone can’t solve the myriads of structural solutions required for this fundamental economic issue."

Affinee Lai

"I joined AMPLIFY to highlight the urgency and impact of the housing crisis on the Australian community and challenge misconceptions of homelessness. I believe a more compassionate & collaborative approach at innovating systemic reform is key in creating a fairer, more accessible housing sector for all."

Bradley Walker

"I’m a Bundjalung man from the Northern Rivers, community leader and advocate for the homeless. I joined AMPLIFY to hold the government accountable, and make sure people don't experience discrimination in housing like I've experienced."

Mukund Rajesh

"I’m a law professional, PhD candidate and aspiring social worker, passionate about bridging the gap between policy design and real world impact. Being part of AMPLIFY gives me the chance to help solve issues through practical, community-oriented solutions and to ensure that every voice is heard in shaping housing reform."

Ann Uldridge

"I'm an ICT professional with 30 years’ experience across industries. I co-founded Women in Technology (QLD). I joined AMPLIFY because advancing affordable, secure housing for rural and regional women is important to me."

Callan Hutchinson

"I'm a husband & father, and I'm involved in a small family business. I'm also a renter growing frustrated by the lack of action on housing affordability, and tax reform where experts are seemingly ignored. I joined AMPLIFY because I felt existing structures mute the voices of ordinary people."

Mace James-Veitch

"I know first hand how long-term barriers to renting and home ownership can have a huge impact on one's life - AMPLIFY has helped give me a platform to advocate for change for those in situations similar to my own."

Bigger, Bolder Action on Housing

Australians are facing a national housing crisis. Armed with community-backed policies, clear recommendations, and a growing coalition of Australians calling for change, we’re fighting for bigger, bolder action on housing to restore the promise of safe, affordable housing for all Australians.

Fab, Fast & Fair Housing

Australia needs to build more homes. Fast.

Prefabricated housing (or Modern Methods of Construction) offers new capacity for construction: speed, certainty, and control. Homes can be built in months, not years—with fewer delays, higher quality, and more consistency. And AMPLIFY is campaigning to make prefab part of the national solution.
