The rate of Indigenous home ownership in Australia (36%) is low relative to non-Indigenous Australians (71%) and also when compared to Indigenous peoples in other developed countries.
Home ownership has been linked to various social and community benefits and many experts have recognised its importance in improving the lives of Indigenous Australians. Home owners are more likely to contribute to local community organisations, work together to solve local problems and see their children stay at school longer.

Our commitment to improving the rate of Indigenous home ownership is one step toward better understanding and meeting the needs of all of our customers, including Indigenous Australians.
