Today we are proud to release our 2025–26 Corporate Plan.
The Plan renews our commitment to delivering resident-centred services that improve the quality of life and economic opportunities for First Nations people. It also outlines our strategic focus and priority areas for the year ahead.
In 2025–26, AHL will remain responsive to demand, while staying faithful to our values and mandate. A focus on First Nations young people is front of mind. We are implementing strategies to attract eligible students to our Secondary Education hostels and improve occupancy, particularly in our Sydney-based hostels.
The strong demand for accommodation at our Health and Medical and Multipurpose hostels is expected to continue. Demand for public housing outstrips supply across Australia and many of our residents experience housing instability. Nationally, the private rental market is tight. Finding and securing affordable rental housing is difficult, including for First Nations families.
With these factors at play, AHL will continue to provide an important accommodation safety net for First Nations people in 2025–26, and beyond.
