The Coping Cookbook is a crowd-sourced collection of 'recipes' to help you stay cool in the heat. They are especially designed to be low-tech and cheap methods, suitable for renters or anyone with a limited budget or less control over their living space. Learn more.

Renter Researchers

Renter Researchers is a citizen-science project where renters work with us to study the temperatures in their homes and how this affects them. Better Renting has found that renters are routinely exposed to unhealthy temperatures due to substandard housing. Learn more.

REACH

REACH: Renters Engagement and Advocacy Community Hub! This is a space for renters to work together to advance our rights across Australia. Through a Facebook group, renters can engage with MPs, seize media opportunities, and collaborate on other advocacy initiatives to push for better rental conditions. Join the group!

Healthy Homes for Renters

Everyone should have a healthy home. Healthy Homes for Renters is a national collaboration to secure minimum energy performance standards for rental homes in every jurisdiction. Learn more.

Affordable homes

We work for changes that will help make renting more affordable and protect renters from unlimited rent increases and the harms they cause.
