Abstract
This article presents the findings of a study examining the rationale and
practices of stock transfer from state housing authorities to community housing associations
in three Australian states—Victoria, New South Wales and Tasmania. It begins
with an analysis of the policy context that has informed debates about housing
management and supply options in Australia. The main section of the article draws on
written documentation and interviews with policy actors and tenants in each of the case
studies to highlight the conflicts and tensions that surface in moves to reconfigure the
management of public housing. Alongside a brief discussion about the policy themes that
emerge from the findings, it is suggested in the conclusion that the continuing
contestation and uncertainty about the stock transfer process is symptomatic of the
national ‘policy vacuum’ about the future direction of public housing in Australia.
