Have you been a renter in the last 5 years and think you have been treated badly or unfairly in rental housing due to your racial background?
The University of Melbourne Healthy Housing team, in partnership with Tenants Victoria, has launched the rental racism survey to better understand people’s experiences in rental housing. In particular, they are interested in learning about racial discrimination, which is when a person is treated badly or unfairly because of a personal characteristic such as race, country of birth, ethnic origin, or skin colour; characteristics that are protected by the law.
Beyond Shelter: From Rental Racism to Equity in Housing
Thank you for your interest in participating in this survey.
We want to better understand people’s experiences in rental housing. In particular, we are interested in learning about racial discrimination, which is when a person is treated badly or unfairly because of a personal characteristic such as race, country of birth, ethnic origin, or skin colour; characteristics that are protected by the law.
If you agree to participate, you will be asked to consent and to complete a survey that should take roughly 10 minutes to complete. We will ask you a few questions about yourself, your housing experiences in Australia, and your health and well-being. When finished, you can leave your contact details if you want to go in the draw to win a $50 gift card.
This research is funded by the Anti-racism Hallmark Research Initiative Interdisciplinary Seed Funding Scheme, University of Melbourne, and has been approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee of The University of Melbourne (27891).
