In the Press: Media Coverage of RFI Global’s Renter Stress in Australia

Australian renters are struggling - but going under the radar due to focus on mortgage borrowers.

With consistent and continued interest rate hikes, focus in the Australian media has been firmly fixed on mortgage borrowers – in particular those who are on fixed rates loans due to roll onto higher variable rates in coming months. The latest combined RFI Global and Atlas consumer research has however revealed that Australian renters are the segment who have accumulated the least wealth in the three years since the Covid19 pandemic began, highlighting a huge segment of financially stressed Australians who aren’t receiving the same attention and support as their homeowning peers.
