Victorian Rental Affordability Snapshot 2025
Anglicare Victoria’s 2025 Rental Affordability Snapshot (RAS) reveals that securing a property on the private rental market is out of reach for most Victorians on low incomes.
While there are more properties available and median rents have stabilised compared to last year, there is still a critical lack of affordable homes for the most vulnerable people in our community, including single parents, students, job seekers, and those living with a disability. Finding a suitable and affordable rental remains out of reach for many of our clients, and Victorians are feeling the pinch as the cost of essential goods and services continues to rise.
The 2025 RAS analyses the challenges these groups face in the rental market and makes the case for policy changes to alleviate pressure on individuals and families who are struggling to find a safe place to live.
