What transformative actions can we take together today, to deliver the housing solutions of tomorrow creating prosperity for all ages and life stages?
The Housing Action Lab drives actions forward.
Through co-investment and partnership, we incubate opportunities identified to facilitate new ventures, joint projects and even the creation of new startups. Working with Australia’s industry leaders, backed by QShelter and programmed by Business Models Inc, the Housing Action Lab helps to mitigate risk and accelerates success by leveraging the power of the network. Five key opportunity areas have been identified for the Housing Action Lab to explore.

The Housing Action Lab (HAL) brings together Australia’s leaders to explore Australia’s most pressing housing issues. Leveraging Business Models Inc’s multi-party innovation lab framework and design-thinking methodology, the Lab takes participants through a lean and iterative design process that connects concept development and experimentation, with capability development.
For participants, the Lab is an immersive learning exchange. Modelled off the learnings and successes of the Canadian GTA Housing Action Lab over the past four years, with whom Business Models Inc. shares a learning exchange memorandum of understanding, the Housing Action Lab will provide an environment to test and explore solutions to entrenched challenges.
The HAL creates real solutions for social change. A necessity as the sector looks to reset, reimagine and restart post the COVID-19 pandemic.
